Answer 1

You can't even buy a dump in the Orlando area for $60,000.  And condos even start at $100,000.  You definitely need to reevaluate what you'll be spedning.

Answer 2

Realestate.com shows about 300 houses in Orlando in the $50k to $75k price range.  The half dozen that I pulled up to see photos for, wouldn't convince me to move to Orlando.  Can you invest your money for a year, move to Orlando, find a job, get familiar with the city, and THEN buy a house?  That might be better than buying something in a section of town where it isn't going to appreciate in the coming years, or where it's too far away from jobs to be practical.

Answer 3

go on www.realtor.com and see what you get for under $60,000
