That;s very inexpensive, Ryan.

The average small 3 bedroom
house, no basement or garage (slab built) on a half to full acre runs *at
least* 75 grand or better.

What would you consider reasonable?

Check out

for an idea what houses cost in other parts of the country. You can search by
zip code, town name, etc. Set limits on house size, price, etc.

You don't want to know what a house costs around here.


Go immediately outside of the county lines of
this county, and the similar/equivalent structure is anywhere from 25-50%
less. I guess it is something about Midland county I guess.

Under $50,000? Amazing. But remember the three most important things about real
estate....

What are the taxes like?
