Keep looking! Pray to God and ask, ask, ask for guidance! I did and found it over a process of time and effort. Look at this RuralVacantland.com. Lately this guy has been selling cheap homes. but depending how desperate you are you can creatively make a piece of land work somehow. I may make another video on this subject so stay tuned and God bless you, Susana! ruralvacantland.com/
I love it. That’s called “I’m gonna fix up one room at a time - when I get good and ready.” This dude will always have some money with this mindset. People don’t NEED 3,000 s.f. houses.
Absolutely correct. We were gifted a home with the deed from my grandfather and we relocated people thought we were crazy downsizing,BUUUT WE TRAVEL MUCH MORE AND HAVE NO STRESS OF TOO MANT BILLS!!
@Lola Montez You are right. Somebody already tore out a lot of the stuff he would have had to, so it's worth even more to him. Even if he eventually put $20,000 into it, it's a $25,000 house. Building that today would be triple at least, plus interest on top of that. And he can do it as he's able. There is NO down side to this.

@@joemonroe9456 hi Joe , my house is paid for its worth a 1,300,000.00 in San Francisco but I feel I don't own.

This story is very much like mine. Lost my first home to a short sale during the mortgage crisis I said the next one I'm paying cash. Paid $4500 for a 2 bedroom one bath on 0.62 acres. I can see and hear the train from my front porch. Located the owner and made an offer. No mortgage! Everything I have was either free or half off or less except for the electrical and plumbing. Former school bus driver. Bought a shed to hold materials needed for the rebuild, it was due for demolition, I took it down to the studs. Changed the layout. The hardest part was dealing with the building inspector. Family and friends help make it happen for me. What goes around comes around. Act as though it is. Give a helping hand and you'll get one in return. Faith without work is dead. If you want it you can have it it's the diamond in the rough. Good luck!
U soooooo right I'm gald it went too someone who needs it , live in it and Would love it the blessings to you and , him 5,000. I'm waiting on my just like that... blessings one day soon.
Wonderful Christian couple bought a house and held it for me while I saved up a 50% deposit. They then sold it to me at the same price they had bought it for, even though the market price had doubled. I can not thank them enough!! The market prices has increased even more since then and there is no way in the world I could buy the house at todays prices.
Thats what i did when i bought my first house. I was so emotional about hearing the sound of the key opening the lock that i walked in and started crying with joy, then i laid down on the bare living room floor and slept for three hours. True story of why i became a Realtor. I wanted others to feel that way too.
I dont even know this man and he makes me proud. wow what a determined soul with so much strength. What a testimony of what positive thoughts and actions can do!!!! Love it
I traded my custom signature harley davidson motorcycle valued at 80,000 for my house i live in now because i couldnt sell it. It took me four years of searching till i found someone who didnt want the house but wanted the motorcycle, we did an even trade using a lawyer and doing paperwork at the court house! I have no rent or mortgage, i now have a home worth 70,000, thats my equity! I have been living in my house now for 7 years :-)
Man I'm Soooooo proud of you!!!!! I'm a single mom and I am looking for a $5000 dollar house to buy and remodel. Please keep me in your prayers! God bless you! Cheryl☺️
Congratulations. Homeowners insurance - property taxes - brute strength - male friends to help - you got this. New subscriber because I am interested in what is next. I see you already have some reno videos going on so I will catch up later. How exciting.
David Johnson Well the house flippers are the only ones with the funds!!!! No banks finance those messes!!! It’sa free country!!! If I would have had $50,000 I would have bought the house across the street from me!!!! A block off Biloxi Beach!!! But Banks don finance them you have to have cash to buy them outright, so who has that?? Only the wealthy the rest of us just struggle to not be homeless
@@extremebudget This is exactly why I can never buy a damn house!! I am just like you and I would ALWAYS save money after I got out of college and I had a part time minimum wage job because that was ALL I COULD GET. BUT I ultimately saved up $14k because I was renting a place with my dad, but then he went to prison so I had to pay the full rent by myself. I was terrified to spend the $14k because I wanted to use it for a house or to do a down payment with owner financing somewhere. But unfortunately I live in Maryland so my only options were in other states because you will never find anything at all in this state with owner financing or that is an extremely low price. Even something with issues is going to run in the 50k+ range. As a result I never got to buy a house because it was too far for me to keep looking out of state when I had a job, and I ultimately had to spend the $14k before getting a house because I developed hodgkin's lymphoma and had to go on disability since I couldn't work, but they will take away your disability if you have more than $2k in savings even if you can't work. So I had to get rid of all but $2k which I did by paying off part of a student loan. But I just WISH I could have kept looking for a house and used the $14k to buy a house instead. Nobody around me could even understand why I had $14k but didn't want to spend it, including my husband when we got married, so I felt pressure by everyone to spend it too😢😭
@@beverlybalius9303 I had $14k saved at one point, but I was only able to save it because there was a short period where I was splitting the rent with my dad. But then I had to pay the full rent when my dad went to prison, so I was terrified to spend the $14k because I knew I would never again have an opportunity to save up that much money. I REALLY wanted to find a house and put the $14k towards it, but I wasn't able to wait to see anything on the market because I had to get disability and they won't give it to you if you have more than $2k saved so I had to spend all but $2k and I paid off some student loans. It just pisses me off because I have never even had a job that paid more than minimum wage, and yet I saved all that money. I just shudder to think what I could have saved if I at least had a full time job or one with better pay. And now I am back to being stuck paying rent and only dreaming that I can get a house for a low price or that has good financing before an investor gets it😕
@@TiasProduction People love trains. That noise is kind of reassuring to me. It's intermittent. It's not like it's a fire alarm beeping obnoxiously, constantly.
My sisters have it good rn. They found a house in a small village on the Yellowhead(#16) highway here in Canada for 20k. While it is quite small it has a generously large property around it, in 5 years or so of living there they were able to afford to buy the vacant lot next door. They own more land than anyone else in the family!!! And did so collecting AISH(a disability benefit), gone are their days of paying sky high 4 digit rent. Forever. Most of the prairies are dotted with small towns so desperate for new residents that some have even given away land for $1 a peice. An ideal option for folks with disabilities, and folks who fit into a work from home lifestyle. Same could be said of us oilfield tradesman, we often go up to the patch for weeks or months at a time followed by months of time off, no need to live in an urban area where land prices are through the roof.
I actually bought my house for $5000 as well… I also had to pay $2000 more than what my sister was offered as a price. It’s whatever… But I seen the vision and she did not! Somewhere around 23 years later here I still am. I started with one tree and now I live in a mini sanctuary.
You guys are doing great in America to find real estate 👍 at such a bargain, there are many lands in Canada but no bargain, if you're not a realtor or friends of Realtors.
Nothing like being out of debt! Very smart use of finite money. Lots of us are sick of debt. It robs us of our dreams and gives constant anxiety. Good for you.
It sounds like you would be a good candidate for a tiny house movement. Back when Jay Leno was younger and was hosting the Tonight Show he invited Jimmy Carter on his show. I'll never forget what Jimmy Carter said. He said many of the things he tried to do as President was to solve the housing problem. The problem was people would take out 30 year loans and default on them because they would lose their jobs, change jobs, or have a life circumstance like divorce or health happen to them. Jimmy Carter couldn't understand why it was all such a problem because he said all boys where he grew up all knew how to build a house by the age 14. When he left office he built homes one by one. Many years in another interview it all made sense. Jimmy Carter's house wasn't very large. It was small. He then explained a small house is all people need. It seems to me the solution for most self sufficient men is a small house.
@@hankmoody5514 there are plenty of people around to show you how. Lots of people out of work right now too. Just post on Craigslist or any other similar site that you are looking for a carpenter or construction laborer and someone will pop up.
Hey... just a thought... how about capitalizing on that great location by having some type of “ touristy “ business.... an “antiques and collectibles “ “ frozen yogurt” or some other million dollar idea? Could potentially be a huge money maker for you.( or at least keep you in spackle And drywall) 😁
My heart goes out to you. It makes me feel so good that you were able to buy that house. I can relate to the constant struggle, living in a VW camper and working 12-16 hrs a day to save for a better life. Good luck going forward with the renovation . That in itself can be so rewarding. All my best...
Congratulations! That's all you'll ever need. I'm still living in my "starter" house after the kids are all grown and gone and I've become much more successful and could afford "bigger/better". That's the problem with the world. Everyone wants MORE. My wife and I are quite satisfied with our tiny little house. Keep your head screwed on... you're doing just fine.
@@vaderladyl Yeah, the only reasons to get another home is to either have your children live in it or rent it while you live in this one, to have an income for only occasionally repairing what's broken in that rental home.
Thank God for your parents and your family for allowing you to follow your dream. Congratulations, I hope one day I can be in your position. God Bless You I wish everyone could buy a house that is affordable, this is America, and that’s how it should be. This would prevent a lot of homelessness.
It was a rough 7 years or so but I did something similar with my partner. We lost our home during the housing crash/recession and decided to try to buy something outright, regardless of condition. No more banks. We had a goldilocks housing experiences, the first house we bought was too small, then we bought a house that was way too big and two years ago we moved to our current house which is just perfect, mortgage free. So glad to see that you are making your housing dreams a reality too. Thanks for sharing.
You're a good man very very happy for you came across your video it reminded me of my first home that I got for 12,000 with 5,000 down in a land contract the house needed a lot of work but it was mine with my learning disability hindered me from ever given me a job that paid good so your story sure brought Memories Back to me but getting my home I felt Pride and humble you got a good deal I hope blessings and prosperity and Independence that's you so much deserve thank you for your video in the best of luck to you brother have a peaceful day thanks
Watching this almost in tears. I've been sitting there all morning on Christmas day 2019, thinking how do get out of renting. This sounds like my life, with short term jobs , no job, and using skills to earn money from home. All my savings are gone and I am working on starting a small business. But I really hate how renting eats what I earn. Praying to get out of this next year. Happy to see this. It gives me hope.
You are blessed because you look at it as a blessing. Not everyone would appreciate the simplicity of the home or the needed hard labor. God bless you and your proud accomplishment.
This is hilarious.. Because my Poppa is a retired train driver.. Do you know how much he would love to Live here lol. If he got to hear trains everyday.
@@PreppyPrincess777 I voluntarily paid Mom rent for my room after I got a job, but it should have happened anyway. You're NOT helping your adult children by 'insulating' them from the world; you need to be teaching them how this crappy world works and paying rent or a mortgage is a part of that. Then you can do what my Mom did- put the extra money away so you will have cash to loan your child when they need that kind of help- which they will. I didn't know she was doing that till much later in life- I had a very wise Mom when it comes to money. If your parents (or friends or family) are needlessly using you for general income then get the he!! away from them- nobody needs leeches in their lives. Another life lesson best learned early on.
You hit the jack pot. This house has tremendous potential . I found house similar to yours in New York . The condition was worst and the cost $20.000. The land was .92 acres. Good luck!
My dad bought a house in Iowa for $5000 in the 50s turned it into a beautiful home after that one experience when I was 12 years old made me learn how to see the possibilities with a little work this house still looks like it did 50 years ago only more

FANTASTIC purchase. That is a cute house and has great potential. You could rent out a room which would be a win-win for both you and the other person. Congratulations!
So wonderful for you - I wish you so much luck. My youngest son found a lovely house that he could easily afford, by the sea. It really feels different for him than renting a flat, and he is so proud of his house. Hugs from a Norwegian mom living in Sweden!
Man. That nice house. That was nobody but God. That house is nice. I’m very shocked you got that for 5k. I just got a blessing. I got a house for 39k. It’s in an area where the house are between 175k - 220k ... I’m so grateful because I have two houses ...1 work shop. I’m going to do a renovation video.
@@Elizabethwaiting Couldn't agree w/you more...Lucky us! I just loved hearing it at night. During the summer, with school being out, it was a real treat to get a short horn blast from the conductor or a hearty wave from the guy in the caboose! 🚂 *edited to add that I lived diagonally (kitty-corner) across from the track.
Yea. One time while in college my ex gf moved into a house riiiight next to a busy train track. It was so loud. But after a short time you become oblivious to it. At least I/we did.
Very smart...i dont ever want my son to get in debt. I preach to him constantly...so far he's listened. Im going to show him this video...thx for sharing!!🙏🏽i love the way you think! Also great idea about 5,000 houses. Rent and Mortgages are not affordable for a lot of people, and struggling is not the way to live. God bless you and good luck
WE bought a 5000 house in York Pa back in the day. 1.Fix roof because water can ruin anything on the inside.2. Check the electric because a fire can wipe you out in minutes. 3. Call a plumber to check main drain line and sewer line.Also no insurance company will give you a policy if it has a major problem.4. Check the flood zone to be sure it's worth fixing for long term living.5. Have a bug company check for major termite damage. We owned ours for a few years and then traded up.\, when we sold it for 15,000.
@@tammybrown4901 You find a area you can live in and look for unoccupied unkept houses go to the courthouse find who owns. Start writing letters asking if they were to sell what would they expect. Google tax sale? Helps to have cash. Time is important.
here in parts of London you would pay millions for that, so much space, and the trees also, just wonderful, i wish you many many happy years ahead in your new home.
What a beautiful story, god bless you and may your future always be as bright as the sun. All dreams are possible so reach for the stars. Peace be with you. Paul (Australia)

Good for you. You are empowered, not a victim. Remember that, on your path to your future endeavors.... Through all the blood, sweat and tears... Best of everything to you!
This is so wonderful!!! I wish everyone can feel how this feels. It is freedom! Enjoy your house. It is cute! It does not need to be perfect. Take your time to fix it up. Enjoy the projects. Yes this is a life changer! So excited for you. You have been blessed! Shoot, you can live in it like it is!
I’m happy for you!, in 2008 I was 19 years old living in McKinney Texas and I wanted my own house bad I was looking on Craigslist at houses that cost 20,000$ but my parents said the economy was bad and it was a bad idea so I didn’t do it , now house in that same area are going for 100k to 200k$ if I had bought a house back then my life would be a lot different now lol , I guess my point is don’t base your life on fear take a chance especially if it makes you happy good luck in your new home!
Texarkana Texas, I just found a 3/ 1 with a large lot on a quiet st. that my parents and former father in law both own property on...24k total...great buy that needs reno obviously but good base house
C congratulations! You are right. It should be more people with a big heart to give opportunities like this to others. We are still looking for something like that.
Great house for the $ now you can have peace! Make sure you get your homestead exemption and make sure the tax appraisal is based on the price you paid, not the "value". My wife and I got our house almost 10 years ago, it was a bit more expensive ($86,000) but appraised for $140,000 but the market was in a real slump. We've really put our $, sweat, and time into it and it's now worth well over $250,000. One day at a time.
I really needed this video to keep my hope and focus going. Thank you for sharing. This is totally a blessing to you from the Most High. May the Lord continue to bless you.💕💖
Your house has good curb appeal.. the outside looks nice and has vinyl siding and newer windows. So all you need is to remodel the inside.. and the cool part is you can remodel it the way you want and pick the colors and woodwork you want to finish your home. And the awesome part is you might be able to find a job across the street working at that train museum while you're fixing up your new home.
Nice man good on you stay focused with that new freedom and freed up funds. I just did the same thing as well. No foundation, roof, or structure issues. The rest is manageable.
What a score! Could probably tear out the insulation in one of the rooms and replace with sound deadening material so you have a space where the train horns won't interrupt you all day long. My plan is to buy some cheap land in northern Ontario for around the same as what you paid for this house and build on it.
I just want say it makes me happy to see this kind of news. I don’t know you but I am just happy for you on such a sweet deal. God bless you and your family
Congratulations!!! I know you'll make it cool. I'm hoping to do about the same as this in a couple of years. It's great! The out buildings are invaluable. Good for you!!
God bless you on your journey! I have a son who is struggling with addiction and I wish he could come full circle and make amazing strides forward like you are doing (not that you are an addict!). Just trust God and keep on truck'en!
Sharon, don't give up hope, belive God can move mountains, He will heal your son. Never doubt. God answered our prayers for an alcoholic family member. Ask God to keep you strong and fairhful during this time and rebuke the enemy out loud, in Jesus name. I'll pray for your son, God bless 👆
Sharon B... I struggled with a cannabis addiction for 30 plus years, I am now almost 4 years clean. Jesus said I needed to stop at the time that he cornered me that one night. Not the next day but that night. He told me that I just needed one day clean and basically I will never look back. Just give me 24 hours, then it will turn into 38 then 72. Sharon, God is excellent in all ways, trust that he can heal your son through his son Jesus, but your son has to want to be clean, he has to grow tired of the same cycle over and over again. I will keep your son and the rest of your family in prayer. Remember the devil is a liar.
@@ronblack2700 I can not thank you enough for taking the time to reply on that comment! Our son claims to know Jesus as his Saviour but there is no fruit!! I wish my husband and I had someone like you we could chat with and ask questions. Our son is living at home and we struggle with whether we are enabling him. We are trying to trust the Lord. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR JOURNEY!
@@sharonb.7867 ... Thank you. I give all praise to the most high for my healing. That person who is suffering from addiction has to become tired of his or her lifestyle, that's what happened to me towards the time Jesus saved me. I walked around so tired of it but I was still going to buy that drug that had me at 160 pounds. I was mentally sick and also physically ill. Smoking weed really kept me really sick on the stomach. Jesus also said to me that it was no guarantee that I was going to live if I took another hit of a blunt. He said if you stop I will save you. I was a laborer working at construction at the time as well, when it was brought to my attention that there was a call center across the street from the building that I was working in and sometimes we would be up on the roof of that building pushing icey water to the drains. I would be freezing, mad at myself because I knew that I could do so much better than that. So I said to the Lord Lord I want to be back in the office. The Lord said to me that if you want to be there you have to sacrifice smoking drugs and I will get you there. When I tested for the job through a temp agency my scores where horrible to the point that the recruiter said that he didn't know if he could help me get the job that I wanted? But I said to him submit my resume don't worry about my test scores. Just do it.well I was set up for that interview and was hired. That was about three years or so ago, now I am full-time working from home. I guess I say all this to say that your son has to hit rock bottom like alot of us did to let Jesus intervene. Sounds like your son has a tremendous talent that God wants to introduce to the world but he is letting Satan win? See Satan does not want God's chosen to win, if he can continue to keep your son down he will. It is Satans job to keep Gods people down. Keep praying never ever give up. Remember the battle is not yours it is the Lords. There is something out here that God wants to give your son but he won't give it until he is clean. Heck I wish there was a way for you to get in touch with me too. As far as enabling your son? Are you giving him monies and he goes out and spends it on whatever he is addicted to? If that is the case? Then stop givening him money.
Awww!!! I'm happy for you. I always say to myself, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I can relate to what you went through without knowing your life story. I have a feeling you went through a lot. And yes, 3 yrs sleep sounds about right. Congratulations in your new house. I pray everything goes smoothly and eventually you get to help your parents as they helped you. I know one day will be my turn to sing Hallelujah!!!! 😊
Keep your dream, never let it go. Keep YOUR faith and trust it. Build it how you choose, really plan it out to suit your vision. Be patient and it will all work out. Bless you.
You have to save your search on realtor.com app and allow updates, it will let you know when the foreclosures hit.. we have an offer on a property now like this, 2.5 acres with a big shop and a older doublewide NOBODY wants to touch, they think it can't be fixed I guess... we will see Habitat is an awesome resource for a reno on a budget, we plan to use them extensively... We're going to have to replace a lot of framing siding roofing and drywall the interior and redo flooring and kitchen bath redo, but for $15k whos complaining, we can't even find land for that and this has a shop on a slab..

@Lola Montez You are right. Somebody already tore out a lot of the stuff he would have had to, so it's worth even more to him. Even if he eventually put $20,000 into it, it's a $25,000 house. Building that today would be triple at least, plus interest on top of that. And he can do it as he's able. There is NO down side to this.

Wow, I bet you make an awesome realtor, honest, fair and respectable. God bless 🙏
@@sugarplum8671 Thank you
kind man 💕
I dont even know this man and he makes me proud. wow what a determined soul with so much strength. What a testimony of what positive thoughts and actions can do!!!! Love it
Much appreciated :)
I know, me too!
I traded my custom signature harley davidson motorcycle valued at 80,000 for my house i live in now because i couldnt sell it. It took me four years of searching till i found someone who didnt want the house but wanted the motorcycle, we did an even trade using a lawyer and doing paperwork at the court house! I have no rent or mortgage, i now have a home worth 70,000, thats my equity! I have been living in my house now for 7 years :-)
Congratulations 👍
Awesome!
👏👏👏👏 Bravo
Your an attractive lady. And a smart one:)) good move!
hogwash
Man I'm Soooooo proud of you!!!!! I'm a single mom and I am looking for a $5000 dollar house to buy and remodel. Please keep me in your prayers! God bless you! Cheryl☺️
I hope you found one!!!💗💗
Where are you located, and are you willing to move? The dream is still out there. Do your research. Have faith
I'll pray for you. Pray for me too. We will find our houses. I believe God for our new adventures as home owners and diy-ers
I think everybody deserves to have his/her own house. I wish you to find it from the bottom of my heart.❤🌈
Congratulations. Homeowners insurance - property taxes - brute strength - male friends to help - you got this. New subscriber because I am interested in what is next. I see you already have some reno videos going on so I will catch up later. How exciting.
So glad it was you that got it rather than a real estate agent
Me too!
I know! I almost didn't because of that!
I despise the greedy evil house flippers who buy up all the cheap property. Glad to see that this house went to someone who will actually live in it.
It's true. :)
David Johnson Well the house flippers are the only ones with the funds!!!! No banks finance those messes!!! It’sa free country!!! If I would have had $50,000 I would have bought the house across the street from me!!!! A block off Biloxi Beach!!! But Banks don finance them you have to have cash to buy them outright, so who has that?? Only the wealthy the rest of us just struggle to not be homeless
@@extremebudget This is exactly why I can never buy a damn house!! I am just like you and I would ALWAYS save money after I got out of college and I had a part time minimum wage job because that was ALL I COULD GET. BUT I ultimately saved up $14k because I was renting a place with my dad, but then he went to prison so I had to pay the full rent by myself. I was terrified to spend the $14k because I wanted to use it for a house or to do a down payment with owner financing somewhere. But unfortunately I live in Maryland so my only options were in other states because you will never find anything at all in this state with owner financing or that is an extremely low price. Even something with issues is going to run in the 50k+ range. As a result I never got to buy a house because it was too far for me to keep looking out of state when I had a job, and I ultimately had to spend the $14k before getting a house because I developed hodgkin's lymphoma and had to go on disability since I couldn't work, but they will take away your disability if you have more than $2k in savings even if you can't work. So I had to get rid of all but $2k which I did by paying off part of a student loan. But I just WISH I could have kept looking for a house and used the $14k to buy a house instead. Nobody around me could even understand why I had $14k but didn't want to spend it, including my husband when we got married, so I felt pressure by everyone to spend it too😢😭
@@beverlybalius9303 I had $14k saved at one point, but I was only able to save it because there was a short period where I was splitting the rent with my dad. But then I had to pay the full rent when my dad went to prison, so I was terrified to spend the $14k because I knew I would never again have an opportunity to save up that much money. I REALLY wanted to find a house and put the $14k towards it, but I wasn't able to wait to see anything on the market because I had to get disability and they won't give it to you if you have more than $2k saved so I had to spend all but $2k and I paid off some student loans. It just pisses me off because I have never even had a job that paid more than minimum wage, and yet I saved all that money. I just shudder to think what I could have saved if I at least had a full time job or one with better pay. And now I am back to being stuck paying rent and only dreaming that I can get a house for a low price or that has good financing before an investor gets it😕
Why are house flippers evil? Somebody ends up living in the house when they are done. It's an open market to everybody.
Congrats On Your Property, It doesn't matter the size or how much repairs it needs, ITS YOURS, Mortgage Free!!!!
Wow! a $5,000 house, I didnt think that was even possible. Congrats on the new house and escaping the rat race!
Just wait for the next crisis, you ll see a lot of them!!!
Only in USA 🇺🇸 loll ! That would be 250 000 in a remote area in 🇨🇦🍁 Canada lolllll !
I think having the train super close helped the price. Who wants to live that close to a train, the noise would drive me crazy.
@@TiasProduction People love trains. That noise is kind of reassuring to me. It's intermittent. It's not like it's a fire alarm beeping obnoxiously, constantly.
Do a renovation series, I would love to watch that. That would be a great series
I’d love to find a 5000 house. I’m very happy for you!
Subscribe to me and I will to you
Same here. Like now I need it!
Everybody says their first property feels like that. Beautiful location, beautiful cottage, beautiful lot. You did it!!!!!
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing
I don’t anything about you, but I love that you’re being so wise and not worrying about naysayers! May God Bless you!!
You are doing it right, your not in dept. Your truly blessed. How great that is
May the Lord bless you keep on believing his grace be With you.
My sisters have it good rn. They found a house in a small village on the Yellowhead(#16) highway here in Canada for 20k. While it is quite small it has a generously large property around it, in 5 years or so of living there they were able to afford to buy the vacant lot next door. They own more land than anyone else in the family!!! And did so collecting AISH(a disability benefit), gone are their days of paying sky high 4 digit rent. Forever. Most of the prairies are dotted with small towns so desperate for new residents that some have even given away land for $1 a peice. An ideal option for folks with disabilities, and folks who fit into a work from home lifestyle. Same could be said of us oilfield tradesman, we often go up to the patch for weeks or months at a time followed by months of time off, no need to live in an urban area where land prices are through the roof.
Please post updates .. And i love the cozy look of it
Kay Elle Dathkchick that’s exactly what I was thinking. The house looks super cozy...
in the description there is a play list, I'm going to go watch them after watching this

COZY INDEED ☺
I actually bought my house for $5000 as well… I also had to pay $2000 more than what my sister was offered as a price. It’s whatever… But I seen the vision and she did not! Somewhere around 23 years later here I still am. I started with one tree and now I live in a mini sanctuary.
Ryan R me... just one
Congrats!
You guys are doing great in America to find real estate 👍 at such a bargain, there are many lands in Canada but no bargain, if you're not a realtor or friends of Realtors.
@@margaretsmith2089
I agree. I've looked into Canada and it is SOOO expensive!
Everyone needs a sanctuary!
In 1990 I put $100 down on a house and paid $100 a month for a year and it was mine, sold my airstream and had cash in my bank.
Minnesota gal
I’d LOVE a Deal like That!!!
Minnesota gal that's the type of deal I would like. Its important to have the cash on hand because you never know. Congrats to you.
Nothing like being out of debt! Very smart use of finite money. Lots of us are sick of debt. It robs us of our dreams and gives constant anxiety. Good for you.
It sounds like you would be a good candidate for a tiny house movement. Back when Jay Leno was younger and was hosting the Tonight Show he invited Jimmy Carter on his show. I'll never forget what Jimmy Carter said. He said many of the things he tried to do as President was to solve the housing problem. The problem was people would take out 30 year loans and default on them because they would lose their jobs, change jobs, or have a life circumstance like divorce or health happen to them. Jimmy Carter couldn't understand why it was all such a problem because he said all boys where he grew up all knew how to build a house by the age 14. When he left office he built homes one by one. Many years in another interview it all made sense. Jimmy Carter's house wasn't very large. It was small. He then explained a small house is all people need. It seems to me the solution for most self sufficient men is a small house.
Jimmy Carter was truly the greatest president the US has seen.
Now look at the government, making tiny houses illegal, making it illegal to live off grid or collect rain water. It surely is a different era
I wish I knew how to build a house. I mean I'd be happy in a simple shack knowing that I was mortgage and debt free.
@@hankmoody5514 there are plenty of people around to show you how. Lots of people out of work right now too. Just post on Craigslist or any other similar site that you are looking for a carpenter or construction laborer and someone will pop up.
@@thexxit no, he was not. He is the reason I became republican
Yeah $5K for the lot alone plus the historic area you're in, that's a steal! God Speed, sweetheart! 👍
Hey... just a thought... how about capitalizing on that great location by having some type of “ touristy “ business.... an “antiques and collectibles “ “ frozen yogurt” or some other million dollar idea? Could potentially be a huge money maker for you.( or at least keep you in spackle And drywall) 😁
I don't know you from Adam, but I'm proud of you. Please post updates on your renovations...
My heart goes out to you. It makes me feel so good that you were able to buy that house. I can relate to the constant struggle, living in a VW camper and working 12-16 hrs a day to save for a better life. Good luck going forward with the renovation . That in itself can be so rewarding. All my best...
Congratulations!
That's all you'll ever need.
I'm still living in my "starter" house after the kids are all grown and gone and I've become much more successful and could afford "bigger/better".
That's the problem with the world.
Everyone wants MORE.
My wife and I are quite satisfied with our tiny little house.
Keep your head screwed on... you're doing just fine.
The only way to go. My parents did the same and still live in the same house for 45 years now.
Bravo!
@@vaderladyl Yeah, the only reasons to get another home is to either have your children live in it or rent it while you live in this one, to have an income for only occasionally repairing what's broken in that rental home.
Thank God for your parents and your family for allowing you to follow your dream. Congratulations, I hope one day I can be in your position. God Bless You I wish everyone could buy a house that is affordable, this is America, and that’s how it should be. This would prevent a lot of homelessness.
It was a rough 7 years or so but I did something similar with my partner. We lost our home during the housing crash/recession and decided to try to buy something outright, regardless of condition. No more banks. We had a goldilocks housing experiences, the first house we bought was too small, then we bought a house that was way too big and two years ago we moved to our current house which is just perfect, mortgage free. So glad to see that you are making your housing dreams a reality too. Thanks for sharing.
Tracy Pilcher
That’s amazing! Any tips? Tax auction, trustee owned or reo?
You're a good man very very happy for you came across your video it reminded me of my first home that I got for 12,000 with 5,000 down in a land contract the house needed a lot of work but it was mine with my learning disability hindered me from ever given me a job that paid good so your story sure brought Memories Back to me but getting my home I felt Pride and humble you got a good deal I hope blessings and prosperity and Independence that's you so much deserve thank you for your video in the best of luck to you brother have a peaceful day thanks
I purchase a 3-bedroom 2-bathroom home for $459.00 from a tax sale. It's on 1.79 acres. Want he do! Amen
WOW! In what city??
find me one plz lol
He sure will, God bless
This is what I want to do...
What city and what state??
Watching this almost in tears. I've been sitting there all morning on Christmas day 2019, thinking how do get out of renting. This sounds like my life, with short term jobs , no job, and using skills to earn money from home. All my savings are gone and I am working on starting a small business. But I really hate how renting eats what I earn. Praying to get out of this next year. Happy to see this. It gives me hope.
Your dream is still out there, pray and research
Update?
You are blessed because you look at it as a blessing. Not everyone would appreciate the simplicity of the home or the needed hard labor. God bless you and your proud accomplishment.
thank you !
This is hilarious.. Because my Poppa is a retired train driver.. Do you know how much he would love to Live here lol. If he got to hear trains everyday.
Extreme Budget happy to see you getting the house I always learned growing up no matter where you live you make it a home and that’s what counts
God bless your parents for helping you out by letting you stay with them to save money.
kendrablake mine did as well, sadly. That’s not what parents should do. Your children aren’t your back up financial plan.
@@PreppyPrincess777 I voluntarily paid Mom rent for my room after I got a job, but it should have happened anyway. You're NOT helping your adult children by 'insulating' them from the world; you need to be teaching them how this crappy world works and paying rent or a mortgage is a part of that. Then you can do what my Mom did- put the extra money away so you will have cash to loan your child when they need that kind of help- which they will. I didn't know she was doing that till much later in life- I had a very wise Mom when it comes to money.
If your parents (or friends or family) are needlessly using you for general income then get the he!! away from them- nobody needs leeches in their lives. Another life lesson best learned early on.
You hit the jack pot. This house has tremendous potential . I found house similar to yours in New York . The condition was worst and the cost $20.000. The land was .92 acres. Good luck!
My dad bought a house in Iowa for $5000 in the 50s turned it into a beautiful home after that one experience when I was 12 years old made me learn how to see the possibilities with a little work this house still looks like it did 50 years ago only more
Wow, most houses for 5000 are not even livable. Congratulations on your find. I would love to find a gem like this
That's my dream , to stop being broke paying banks
Me too.
Mine as well.
Get r done folks! I planted food at my 2,000 house. I'm not buying anything from any corporations if I don't have to.

FANTASTIC purchase. That is a cute house and has great potential. You could rent out a room which would be a win-win for both you and the other person. Congratulations!
This is an excellent video. I completely relate to your life story. Congratulations on your new life house.
So wonderful for you - I wish you so much luck. My youngest son found a lovely house that he could easily afford, by the sea. It really feels different for him than renting a flat, and he is so proud of his house. Hugs from a Norwegian mom living in Sweden!
You genuinely sound happy about how this ended up. I’m glad to see something work out for someone.
That's an amazing story. I wish you all the best in your new home.
I'd love to see more videos as you renovate,. 👍💚
Youve been thru the desert on a horse with a name called morgage free .jesus bless you.
Just proves, never say never. Love the trains, the garden with trees. The house is so sweet. Congratulations you deserve it, I am sure.
Man. That nice house. That was nobody but God. That house is nice. I’m very shocked you got that for 5k. I just got a blessing. I got a house for 39k. It’s in an area where the house are between 175k - 220k ... I’m so grateful because I have two houses ...1 work shop. I’m going to do a renovation video.
It's adorable and you'll get where you don't hear that train.

I used to live near a train track as a child, it becomes almost like a comfort.
I lived 2 streets away from this exact station. My mom worked there and there is another track for a commercial train. Its not too bad to listen to.
@@Elizabethwaiting Couldn't agree w/you more...Lucky us! I just loved hearing it at night. During the summer, with school being out, it was a real treat to get a short horn blast from the conductor or a hearty wave from the guy in the caboose! 🚂 *edited to add that I lived diagonally (kitty-corner) across from the track.
Yea. One time while in college my ex gf moved into a house riiiight next to a busy train track. It was so loud. But after a short time you become oblivious to it. At least I/we did.
Very smart...i dont ever want my son to get in debt. I preach to him constantly...so far he's listened. Im going to show him this video...thx for sharing!!🙏🏽i love the way you think! Also great idea about 5,000 houses. Rent and Mortgages are not affordable for a lot of people, and struggling is not the way to live. God bless you and good luck
Congratulations brother, I can feel your happiness, thank you for sharing!
WE bought a 5000 house in York Pa back in the day. 1.Fix roof because water can ruin anything on the inside.2. Check the electric because a fire can wipe you out in minutes. 3. Call a plumber to check main drain line and sewer line.Also no insurance company will give you a policy if it has a major problem.4. Check the flood zone to be sure it's worth fixing for long term living.5. Have a bug company check for major termite damage. We owned ours for a few years and then traded up.\, when we sold it for 15,000.
I found 2 of mine in the local advertiser paper , land contract !11,600 and cash 10,000 20 years apart ! Good job EB !
I'm so happy for you and I don't even know you!
That's what I was going to say!😊Congrats!
Gooooood for you!!!💛🙂
Good luck!! You're living my dream!! Wishing you all the happiness!!
It's a beautiful house, a bit of love and Reno real gem
Well done. You seem like a great guy. All the best to you.
You have the right attitude, I keep telling people to find these deals.
How do I go about finding them
@@tammybrown4901 You find a area you can live in and look for unoccupied unkept houses go to the courthouse find who owns. Start writing letters asking if they were to sell what would they expect. Google tax sale? Helps to have cash. Time is important.
here in parts of London you would pay millions for that, so much space, and the trees also, just wonderful, i wish you many many happy years ahead in your new home.
What a beautiful story, god bless you and may your future always be as bright as the sun. All dreams are possible so reach for the stars.
Peace be with you.
Paul (Australia)
I feel the same way. I just want a place the fits my needs with space to grow and improve at my convenience without owing anyone.
Love it..cute archways...yes..put up with the horn but better than a $2000 monthly mortg. Nice lot..lot you can do with it..flower boxes too. Ha! 👍

I’m happy for you!, in 2008 I was 19 years old living in McKinney Texas and I wanted my own house bad I was looking on Craigslist at houses that cost 20,000$ but my parents said the economy was bad and it was a bad idea so I didn’t do it , now house in that same area are going for 100k to 200k$ if I had bought a house back then my life would be a lot different now lol , I guess my point is don’t base your life on fear take a chance especially if it makes you happy good luck in your new home!
I keep seeing houses that are cheap in small towns everywhere. keep lookin :) thank you.
Extreme Budget that’s a good point !

If you came straight to the Comments click thumbs up!👍🏿
That was the first thing that I did😎
yes indeed
I go straight to the comments for most videos, and read them while I listen.
👌🏾👌🏾
I do to, we jus don't hav th time to listen then ck comment Michael
C congratulations! You are right. It should be more people with a big heart to give opportunities like this to others. We are still looking for something like that.
You have been blessed! Would love to see the house when you are finished!
Mine was $7000! Tons of work still 4 yrs later but hey.
I'm in Canada there are not cheap houses like that here
Hello, how did you buy houses at that price?
@@elisamondragon2849 check the MLS regularly.
Cherry McGillicuddy Hi!!! The MLS is a site where you have to pay like $50 monthly fee?
Great house for the $ now you can have peace! Make sure you get your homestead exemption and make sure the tax appraisal is based on the price you paid, not the "value". My wife and I got our house almost 10 years ago, it was a bit more expensive ($86,000) but appraised for $140,000 but the market was in a real slump. We've really put our $, sweat, and time into it and it's now worth well over $250,000. One day at a time.
I really needed this video to keep my hope and focus going. Thank you for sharing. This is totally a blessing to you from the Most High. May the Lord continue to bless you.💕💖
Your house has good curb appeal.. the outside looks nice and has vinyl siding and newer windows. So all you need is to remodel the inside.. and the cool part is you can remodel it the way you want and pick the colors and woodwork you want to finish your home. And the awesome part is you might be able to find a job across the street working at that train museum while you're fixing up your new home.
Nice man good on you stay focused with that new freedom and freed up funds. I just did the same thing as well. No foundation, roof, or structure issues. The rest is manageable.
"...want to lay on the ground and sleep for three years," LOL! Congratulations on your new home! ☺️☺️🏡
So happy for you! Can hardly wait to see you turn this house into a home!
Great! Keep us updated even if it's one nail a day, Please! Good luck and enjoy. Sweat equity is great.
Happy for you! Can’t wait to see the fixer-upper videos!
What a score! Could probably tear out the insulation in one of the rooms and replace with sound deadening material so you have a space where the train horns won't interrupt you all day long. My plan is to buy some cheap land in northern Ontario for around the same as what you paid for this house and build on it.
I just want say it makes me happy to see this kind of news. I don’t know you but I am just happy for you on such a sweet deal.
God bless you and your family
:) !!
Congratulations!!! I know you'll make it cool. I'm hoping to do about the same as this in a couple of years. It's great! The out buildings are invaluable. Good for you!!
God bless you on your journey! I have a son who is struggling with addiction and I wish he could come full circle and make amazing strides forward like you are doing (not that you are an addict!). Just trust God and keep on truck'en!
Sharon, don't give up hope, belive God can move mountains, He will heal your son. Never doubt. God answered our prayers for an alcoholic family member. Ask God to keep you strong and fairhful during this time and rebuke the enemy out loud, in Jesus name. I'll pray for your son, God bless 👆
Sharon B... I struggled with a cannabis addiction for 30 plus years, I am now almost 4 years clean. Jesus said I needed to stop at the time that he cornered me that one night. Not the next day but that night. He told me that I just needed one day clean and basically I will never look back. Just give me 24 hours, then it will turn into 38 then 72. Sharon, God is excellent in all ways, trust that he can heal your son through his son Jesus, but your son has to want to be clean, he has to grow tired of the same cycle over and over again. I will keep your son and the rest of your family in prayer.
Remember the devil is a liar.
@@ronblack2700 I can not thank you enough for taking the time to reply on that comment! Our son claims to know Jesus as his Saviour but there is no fruit!! I wish my husband and I had someone like you we could chat with and ask questions. Our son is living at home and we struggle with whether we are enabling him. We are trying to trust the Lord. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR JOURNEY!
@@sharonb.7867 ... Thank you. I give all praise to the most high for my healing.
That person who is suffering from addiction has to become tired of his or her lifestyle, that's what happened to me towards the time Jesus saved me. I walked around so tired of it but I was still going to buy that drug that had me at 160 pounds. I was mentally sick and also physically ill. Smoking weed really kept me really sick on the stomach. Jesus also said to me that it was no guarantee that I was going to live if I took another hit of a blunt. He said if you stop I will save you. I was a laborer working at construction at the time as well, when it was brought to my attention that there was a call center across the street from the building that I was working in and sometimes we would be up on the roof of that building pushing icey water to the drains. I would be freezing, mad at myself because I knew that I could do so much better than that. So I said to the Lord Lord I want to be back in the office. The Lord said to me that if you want to be there you have to sacrifice smoking drugs and I will get you there. When I tested for the job through a temp agency my scores where horrible to the point that the recruiter said that he didn't know if he could help me get the job that I wanted? But I said to him submit my resume don't worry about my test scores. Just do it.well I was set up for that interview and was hired. That was about three years or so ago, now I am full-time working from home.
I guess I say all this to say that your son has to hit rock bottom like alot of us did to let Jesus intervene.
Sounds like your son has a tremendous talent that God wants to introduce to the world but he is letting Satan win? See Satan does not want God's chosen to win, if he can continue to keep your son down he will. It is Satans job to keep Gods people down.
Keep praying never ever give up. Remember the battle is not yours it is the Lords. There is something out here that God wants to give your son but he won't give it until he is clean. Heck I wish there was a way for you to get in touch with me too.
As far as enabling your son? Are you giving him monies and he goes out and spends it on whatever he is addicted to? If that is the case? Then stop givening him money.
@ Sharon, how's your son???
I love this story, my wife and I actually are in the search for a house similar to this, many blessings and hope you can have it ready soon.
Nice find. Those toilets are Koehler. Single piece. About $700 new each. Good for you sir. Some drywall, primer and paint and you’re styling
I'll just start by saying, this makes me so happy for you. I'm tearing up. Congratulations to the max.
I appreciate that thank you
Awww!!! I'm happy for you. I always say to myself, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I can relate to what you went through without knowing your life story. I have a feeling you went through a lot. And yes, 3 yrs sleep sounds about right. Congratulations in your new house. I pray everything goes smoothly and eventually you get to help your parents as they helped you. I know one day will be my turn to sing Hallelujah!!!! 😊
Keep your dream, never let it go. Keep YOUR faith and trust it. Build it how you choose, really plan it out
to suit your vision. Be patient and it will all work out. Bless you.
You have to save your search on realtor.com app and allow updates, it will let you know when the foreclosures hit.. we have an offer on a property now like this, 2.5 acres with a big shop and a older doublewide NOBODY wants to touch, they think it can't be fixed I guess... we will see
Habitat is an awesome resource for a reno on a budget, we plan to use them extensively...
We're going to have to replace a lot of framing siding roofing and drywall the interior and redo flooring and kitchen bath redo, but for $15k whos complaining, we can't even find land for that and this has a shop on a slab..
I am Lady Donna from Panamá Republic.Congratulation it's never too late to make it. I'm building my on a land I purchased with one of my sister. We splited it half. 600 square feets. God bless you love your story.
Congratulations your story is inspiring I am so happy for you!
Tuning in from the UK. I am so happy for you. I am smiling from ear to ear - anyone would think I had purchased the house myself. Let me know if you need a housemate. You are very disciplined and goal oriented in what you want to achieve. I would soon sell my two homes here to join you! Blessings heap upon you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm really happy for you. I had a lengthy medical condition, and lost my house. Now, at my advanced age, having pretty much lost everything, I'm a ship without a rudder. Wish I had building/carpentry skills, but without, and alone, I can't do what you are doing. More power to you. I'm pay way too much for rent, and trapped. You're going to turn that cute cottage into a jewel, and you deserve your good fortune. Blessings!
I'm there too! I started with nothing and still have most of it left! Build as I have money, no debt. No one can take it away and it becomes whatever I want it to be. Congrats, my Brother, to your life!
