Whatever style and bed bath count is the most popular in your area, within commute distance of central area, having a good grocery store nearby helps your value.

Crystal is very in style right now in general. 

My wife and I are moving to Jacksonville, Florida from Las Vegas and we are closing on our first duplex on November 6th.  

The homes are typically brick ranch style and need some updates. 

I suspect that we will all be waiting a lifetime to see rates back to were they were 2 to 4 years ago.. so I would not bank on that.. as for pricing.. if its a place to live then you certainly can just wait and see.. its not like your homeless or need to move other than you don't care for your neighbors.. markets always slow about now.. what will be telling in my mind is were we are at next Feb March April in the buying season as it were.I was in a conference this week here in Vegas and some of the speculation is that many of the commercial type loans that had 5 , 7 and 10 year calls  are going to stress those that had max leverage.. as the rates rise the cap rates rise to keep pace thereby devaluing the properties.. to the point some of these investors are going to need to bring some to significant amount of fresh capital to pay down their debt to get a refi.. and that will stress those assets and there could be a real buying opp in that sector.. at least that's what I gleaned from the talk I listened to yesterday... hope you find that dream home in the country !!!

Go to vegas and bet on black. ;)

Lol, I have gotten fired for giving bad news but on the flip side I've been hired for my no BS style, my tenacity, my extreme patience, and for tackling problems created by others.

The other nice thing is the locks are available at every big box (Lowes, Home Depot, Menards) and available in many colors and styles, including versions with key pads which may be good for STR.I am not sure on the commons area, that may be a gap.Kwikset also has a landlord version that accepts a master key.

With only 10K the fasted way is like to drastically modify your life style to embrace the frugal and save every penny going forward until you have enough for a DP, closing costs and a reserve fund. $10K after closing costs and holding back a reserve fund will leave you about $5K for a DP.

I'm not sure the work it needs vs a 75k condo that is apartment style where you have neighbors above and on the side of you, it is on a bottom floor.
