So we are familiar with the north GA, western NC area.My wife's aunt and uncle are selling their house in Franklin, NC.

It's growing rapidly and price of labor/ housing is dirt cheap.

Second, if you want a nice house in a nice part of town, you will have to pay for it, so will likely need to raise your purchase price.Third, if you want to go off-market, just know you are trading a lot of time for the possibility of maybe finding a deal.  

Because of the frustration, when asked to purchase the large lot in front of their house which leads to the main road, they turned it down.

I don’t think the tiny house would get you there.

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Recently purchased my first house to use as a primary residence, currently I am renovating the kitchen and adding a full bathroom to the first floor.

Many successful investors started small, such as with house hacking or buying affordable properties to rent out.
