Some have asked what exactly $125,000.00 will buy you in our part of the country. Jessica and I looked again today at the type of house we’d like to be able to purchase one day. (Assuming we can come up with a decent down payment.)
Here’s a list of what $125,000 will buy you these days… and don’t worry Rachel, there’s plenty of room for you. That kind of cash will buy you a 1,392 SQ. Ft. 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage house.
