Getting Housing
« on: March 02, 2006, 10:18:00 PM »
I have three or four thousand dollars saved up. I am new at finding housing for myself. My credit sux hardcore. I was hoping I might by a tax deed sold piece of shit piece of land and put a fucked up mobile home on it. As a first time home buyer I 'could' qualify for a first time home, but only if I had a steady job which is not going to happen any time soon. I have enough money saved to get me through a small piece of shit home buy, if I knew how, and to live off the rest for a year or so til I figure out what to do next. But I'm looking for a place to call home in transition for awhile and chill out away from Everyone while not having to be actually homeless. I'd like to finish out some school so I can say I've done something academic for enrichment or w/e, too. So, I'd like to get a little piece of shit home if you know what i mean. Any clue or advice on how to proceed?

I once picked up an ol' run-down shack in a flood plain on 1/20 of an acre for 500.oo.  It had been abandoned for over a decade. It had no electric or runnin' water when I bought it and the roof leaked ever'where except for right in the middle in a place just big enough for my bed.  When I first moved into it there wasn't even a front wall and the house was leaning 13" outta square. I bought it at the county tax auction.  Call around to all the local counties or wherever your lookin' to live an' ask about the upcoming tax auctions.  Yeah it was a piece 'a' shit little place but I fixed it up pretty good over a 5 year period durin' which I paid no rent or mortgage an' it was all mine, free an' clear.  Man I loved that place. It was like livin' in a piece of art. After 5 years I inherited my grandmas' house an' moved in there so I sold that beautiful ol' shack and made over 3 grand on the sale!  Just remember to do a visual inspection of the property before you buy it and also check for leins against it.  Good Luck! Damn I miss that place!

thanks P. I remember reading that post you wrote awhile back about that property w/ the shack on it, but I thought it said you bought it from this guy farmer or somethin. ah well. There are alot of those tax deed sales out here. I'm fortunate to have some money right now while everything is falling apart. But I think finding and having a little bit of housing would cut down on a lot of stress, you know.

Maybe I'll buy a small piece of land and build up a house on it.

there everyone goes,"call hippie he knows what to do...!" man i type with one finger.....didn't get much in the way of school while i was in that place,so even typing is a chore for me! as far as housing,if you don't mind moving,indiana county in pennsylvania is a very poor area...theres always some kind of "sherrifs sale" going on around here.....the reason i've never bought anything is because after my daughter turns 18,i'm out of here....my "sentence" will be served! no,my daughter isn't the sentence,but staying up here is for me.....barney google and snuffy smith have done enough damage to me! shit,i'm not from here,so i have no realitives...
some of the ppl around here see that as an opportunity to rip me off.....as it is,i'll always be an outsider up here!....i know,ppl say "i'd kick someones ass blah blah blah"....who am i going to fight? all 200 of them? shit if i beat one of them , i have to beat them all....and i don't know them all! thats the scary part!...lol....hippie
