You got 80% of a nice house for something like 120-140k (guessing at interest rate and term here)? In the states, or a cheap foreign country?

I have seen a nice 4 story house sold for under 60k in the US. It's really all about location, location, location.

Wow, 60k USD for a home, incredible. That's an older home then probably? Here in Belgium the absolute minimum would be double that, those would be the smallest, oldest buildings with nothing of insulation or modern comforts.

Here a building-stop has been announced for 2040 as all available land in flanders will be used up for homes!

I did. It is easy to find nice places for less than 200k in Texas. Prices are going up, but still very affordable.
