Where are these 80K homes with 2-3 bedrooms in a safe neighborhood? LOL

I think the last time I saw a home in N.J costing 80K was during the Nixon administration!

Today, a home is going to cost about 350K minimum. A fixer upper can be hand for about 275K and you'll probably have to put about 25K in cash to correct the minimal problems. In New York City, there are apartments that rent for 70K a year. Yes, that's correct rent not own!
