Thought I'd start a small thread to see what $250,000 would get in different parts of the country. . .

This should be an interesting one! :groovy:

In Clintwood Virginia? I would think without stats to back me, the Sherrifs department, mayor, town council and a few judges. You can also get around 2.5 one acre lots for that amount with no houses on them. In 5 years from now you can get 2.5 1/4 acre lots and no houses. Right now however you can get over a 1/4 down stroke on the 5 million dollar Mansion I have tried to tell about in some other threads and owner finanancing for the balance at 4% as as a bonus I am sure we would toss in the Rolls Royce as well and return it to its original resting spot.

That would also secure you a 1/8 interest in a commercial level hat concern that competes with the worlds largest hatters without overhead.

That would get you about a 1000 acres of "mountain property" and a lot of peace of mind.

I am beginning to think I have STUPID written accross my forehead but then I realize I am looking at others and not in the mirrow at all when I see them tossing that kind of coin at ratty little properties in smog filled cities when they can have pristine mountain fresh air and hundreds of acres for the same investments.

Has the world went this crazy or has it already gone there and I just missed it. I know I know I have family just moved from Orange County to Palm Desert and Riverside and its really gone crazy.

Now my question is why would anyone want to live like that for free must less pay a fortune for that torture. Masochist comes to mind about now.

When you put on your thinking caps try to think Gladhatter and give us a call.
