Wow! Great info! Thank you so much! I'm going to be keeping my eyes peeled for a good deal on a welder, probably from an estate auction.

yes, it was so much fun!!! It's a lot of work though (I've already started work on next years Zombie Walk). It's grown way past my expectations! The first year we had it (2008) we had 171 zombies. The last three years has been 3000+ zombies!
I love the idea as a fundraiser, especially now with Halloween.- Thread starter

So what do you have to do to make this a reality? Down payment? Job? Credit? FHA loan? If outside the city limits, you could qualify for a USDA loan. What is keeping you from buying this or any other place that meets your needs? You don't have to answer these questions here, but answer them to yourself.
Or maybe you should scrap the buy a house idea and just buy land. Put a 12'x24' portable building on it, finish out the building and live in it. Build a "tiny house" for cheap $$. What does raw land cost in your area? What about septic? What permits would you need? How many acres do you need for les restrictions? In the county I presently live in, you have to have 10 acres to put in a passive or anaerobic septic system. Any less acres and you have to put in the aerobic septic system. That is but one example of what you have to consider when buying property. What is the smallest building you can have without a building permit? Will restrictions let you live in it? What about building a barn? What about sliding around restrictions and building a "wash room" with sink and shower in the barn.....and over there hiding in that closet......a bed.
What is most important to you? What is the first step you need to take to achieve your goals? Have you written down your goals? Have you written out each step toward your goals? Put it on paper so you can read your plan from time to time.
You are reaching out, trying to learn and that is a positive move on your part. Every move forward puts you closer to your goal.
