how to buy the houses under 50k?

OH · Member since 2013 · 48 posts · 5 votes

there are a few houses in the areas I'm most familiar with that are under the 50k price, and I was wondering what are some ways to purchase these? I have great credit and around 12-15k so I have no problem getting pre-approved, but no bank wants to go under 60k and i dont have enough equity in my current home to go that route thanks for any information

Talk to a local bank or a credit union and if they're willing to go under 60K. If they don't want to do a deal under $50 see if they will do a deal if you buy 2.

    @Chris C. PArtner until you have the cash.  Use the cash for an all cash buy...then refi all the cash out, and use again.  Many lenders that won't lend under $50k for a purchase, will for a refi.  If the one one you have access to won't...find one that does.

    Why don't lenders go below that price? And why would they refi on that but not lend for an initial purchase?

    @ Marcus Brown

    They believe that its not cost effective. It cost them the same if you buy a 50k house or 1m property. They usually charge a %.
