Kinda tongue-in-cheek but 400K will buy you a large portion of Wyoming!
There are housing shortages all over the state and areas that are "land-locked" by families that have been here for generations. In my little town on I-80 near the Utah border (west), I don't know if we have any homes priced so high - even the newest construction. My mudda-in-law bought a 2Br log-cabin 25 miles from here for 10G with 2/3 acre. The cash you're talking would buy you a fairly large ranch. Sorry I can't be more help with the numbers - I run rental properties - but check out the link to the Tribune and check each small town you're interested in for a newspaper online. |
It would be a great deal coming there, but if you had to get back out, you would certainly find it hard to find a home in my area for that cost.
Hearing that many properties are land locked is a concern, but I guess speaks of families who live close, and stay close. This is something that is missing from my area on the west coast. I think I would like that... unless my fodder in law lived there. Yuck!
