Holy crap thats a lot of taxes for an 180k house! Thats double what it would be in my state. And we dont even have sales tax so I think our property tax is pretty high. You have an HOA there also? Bummer.

Taxes are $5300 on a 184K listing I was looking at.
That said, the house needs a new roof and siding and appliances and AC and furnace ...
Then it will be worth about 225 to 250K. (which is pretty much market value where it's at)

EDIT: Also, I currently live in an 1100 sq foot townhome in Streamwood, IL ... near chicago.

The 10-12 foot ceilings make it feel bigger.

Depends on the area MLS rules and if the basement is finished to code with proper door, windows, ventilation, ceiling height, etc.

yeah i thought you had to have a real exit, lighting, outlets etc. wich is really hard unless its a new build.

out here a lot of builders are scooping out the back yard. then putting in a nice sliding door in the basement so they can claim 3k-4ksq/ft house.

Its funny that people think along these lines, I have lived here my whole life and have never even seen one in person.

The real reason for cheap houses is that nobody wants to live here.
