Quite a few places actually...
I can get a lot for that only 45 miles from here, but there's not much of a future in this area. OH has a lot of places in that range, but I wouldn't live there.
OK has quite a few also... It's a matter of finding the right one.
We're willing to make sacrifices in order to have NO mortgage.
If we had sold out here even a year ago, we would have come out with about $90K,
but the market went poof!

You could get a house for 30K in Allen, where I went to high school. It wouldn't be fancy, but it wouldn't be trashy either. At least it was that way the last time I checked. My brother almost bought a house in Allen about 10 years ago for 28K. It was on a small lot and was a wood frame house but it wasn't a dump or anything. And it was right on mainstreet. |

In some of the smaller towns you can buy cute little houses that look like they are in good condition very cheap.
This house is listed for $25,500. 2 bed 1 bath. |

Wow, good one. I'd almost buy that for a rental or something. Neat!

After what you wrote I went to realtor.com and typed in tahlequah. They had two houses under $30,000. Just not sure what neighborhoods they are in. And that rustic cabin I wanted was $35,000 on 5 acres. that is a cute house peggy. we wanted to pay cash for our house too and wanted money left over, and so we found one for $62,000.

If I were going to retire and didn't have to live in the country, I would live in a house like that. I would walk to the store and have a little garden.

10 years was a LONG time ago... But the way the market looks lately, it may be comparable.
Don't need fancy, just livable for 5 - 7 years or so.
I plan to retire in the sticks! 
(But... I want my kids to have a future in the meantime... Reasonably close to home.)

Those places were only 2 BRs... I require 3 and would like a spare room for my fortress of solitude.... Ummm.. I mean office! Yeah... That's the ticket.

So...
What do y'all think about Muskogee?????
Do I want to raise my kids there?
(NOTE: the schools don't matter because my kids are home schooled.)
I'm more interested in opportunities nearby and the crime rate....
I read on CD that there were 27 r*pes in Muskogee last year...
That doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies...
But they sure have some reasonable prices there.
