        America is pretty massive and there is a LOT of variance.

        A lot of the properties posted here are shitty homes in states / cities with high pay and lots of opportunity. Sometimes the land is worth more than the home.

        This town in Mississippi is not that town. The local economy is crap and it’s next to a river that floods. Also, the state is very conservative, has a high violent crime rate, and terrible access to education.

        You’d probably be better off spending that money on a used caravan to park in California.
