I want to buy a house

Question

My mother and I were talking to my uncle on how he bought his home for $75.38 and that was it. It was a foreclosed home. My friends and I want to buy a home for less than $25,000 in a 15mile range of Blue Island, IL. We do not care how crappy it is as long as it will not colapse on us and it up to date on its requierments. We would like 2 bedrooms she needs a studio for painting and drawing, and we both need separate studies. We dont care even if we turn 3 bedrooms into the studio and studies. We would like at least 1 1/2 baths, a garage and driveway, washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Also a basement or attic but not a hideaway attic. For fun we would also like a laundry shoot. lol. And a big enough backyard for a good size pool and or trampoline. If it comes with the house even better. We want a nice home and plan to live there throughout college. Where can I find these homes and look them up for free not a trail? Also any agents on here please help me. I am willing to pay a reasonable price for helping us.

Answer 1

Why are you asking us? Your uncle bought the house for $75. I've been in real estate a long time and the only houses I've seen for that kind of money had $50,000 in liens or needed to be moved to another site at a cost of $25,000. I would pick your uncles brain for the data he gleaned to uncover such a property. I'd also like to see the settlement statement or deed before I put any money up on a deal he was engineering.
