I just got approved for $145k I want to buy a home in CA, or Washinton state. Possible? I can't find any!?

I live in the bay area, ca. And I see a lot of short sale homes but don't know how to approach these homes with an offer..I hear they are a bad idea. I'm single, have a nice job, 24 years old, no kids, and live with my parents. I just want to start saving money and start building my investments, my first home is what I really want and all I can afford is a home for $145k. I don't want to buy a mobile home, or home as old as 1928. I want a decent home in fair condition. I'm willing to look in Washington (Seattle, Olympia, nearby outskirts), but preferabbly CA (Sacramento, Rio Vista, Bay Area, etc etc..if I can find a small home with some land that would be a plus) Any realtors can help me out there? Anyone know of anything? Thanks.I just got approved for $145k I want to buy a home in CA, or Washinton state. Possible? I can't find any!?
In Sacramento I have 1160 homes under $150,000. These are properties that are SFR(Single Family Residence) and Half-Plex. Sorry no Condo's were added to the search criteria. From there I narrowed down your search to a 3 bedroom and 2 bath and found 441 homes. 3 bedroom 2 bath is very marketable and great for you if you are looking to build a family in a future. Great investment. Out of the 441 properties half of those are REO or bank owned. Which means you have over 200 properties that ready for a reliable purchase. If you would like to see any of these properties than please contact me or you can look on sacbee.com. Realtors.com. Happy Living and congratulations on being approved for a home.I just got approved for $145k I want to buy a home in CA, or Washinton state. Possible? I can't find any!?
You won't find any houses around that price anymore unless you want to live out in the middle of nowhere and not only that but also pretty old houses with possibility of lead. You can check zillow.com to shop around and hire an agent when you find some houses that you want to toss an offer at. I am an agent and I wouldn't mind traveling to Seattle again. =P Although I wouldn't recommend living in Washington state. The houses are old and poor quality and possibly has lead plus property tax is pretty high because there's no income tax.
If you want to invest, that is great at your age. If your parents are not kicking you out, I would stay where you are at and buy an investment property that pays you a monthly income + tax deduction rather than taking on a liability such as your own home.

Investments can make you enough $ and build up your credit for a future home purchase much better than $150k.



You will have a difficult time finding a home for $150k in the bay area that you would want to live in.



Hope this has helped. Email me if you have additional questions.
You cannot find anything other than a mobile home in California for under 145K Well at least something that is livable. Mobile home is all you can afford in California.





So I guess you better check out washington.
Hey, you can surely find a house in CA's bay area. Visit this site of a real estate in the laguna beach area.
