Midwest pricing is decent. 300k would get you a modest home around 2-4k square feet or so.

Here in SWMO, we can buy a house with around 2k square feet for around $175k. Just a small "starter" home would cost around $75k.

I was basing mine off of prices from some local "well off" areas around the STL area.

300k here would buy a 6 bedroom house with 10 acres on the lake here.

Yea I was surprised looking at the OKC area for houses. Picked up a place in Yukon for cheap.

I should invest in slowing time down so I could have built that enclosure for you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

On the bright side, I think my wife's new phone comes in today so I can have mine back. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I have a 5 bedroom 3 bath house on 8 acres... I would pay off the $115,000 I still owe, spend a little on improving my property (pond, new garage, paved driveway ect.) Invest half of what's left in a IRA, the other half of what is left would go into conservative investments.

screw conservative investments. Agressive is the way to go.
