i remember 2 or 3 years back seeing a house on ebay
was actually a beautiful old colonial style building
sort of house if you saw in london it would be half a mill, pretty much anywhere in london, the worst parts. had like 12 beds
if it was in the posh parts , well
anyway, this house was about $28k, and it's in new yoik
I'm thinking, ok, ebay, must be a scam
checked it out all seemed good, seller high rating, all details were there
street even looked pretty nice, but on looking it was just a crime area and loads of empty houses
it's easy to think, new york, must be worth loads, like florida
but here in the uk, its tiny and planning laws are insanely tight so we get used to paying fortunes for property
the u.s is vast and has some truly fucking grotesque areas, places you literally would not let your dog go outside and have a crap in
moral, only buy what you know. (i didnt buy lol)
great thing is we do have vast amounts of info at our fingertips these days, school reports, crime reports, google maps, wlak down the street with streetview, views from space all the way down. theoretically you dont need to actually go somewhere to buy. if its really cheap and you got cash, maybe take an educated risk
talking of dirt cheap places , anyione remoted considered a pad in bulgaria?
throw 8k at a house for shits and giggles. or are you likely to be tied up by the local mushes on arrival? lol
