looking for a cheap home 2 car garage status. where do i look i have no idea where to find like really cheap government siezed homes. man i google it and it leads me to these gay *** websites where you have to pay to see them. idk anyone wanna point me in the right direction.

It's a buyers market at the moment, I would just start looking in the area you want to live. Most of the "goverment seized homes for $200 is Bull...t

I just sold a nice 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a 2 car garage for 89K.
There are good deals out there.

realtor.com will get you started

and you really should hire a realtor. it costs you nothing, and they give you their expertise. a good one will take your criterium then go check out listings she thinks you'll like for you. Then if she finds something she thinks works for you, she'll have you go look at the property.

Her commission is paid by the seller through the seller's agent.

Check out for sale by owner. On their site you can enter the zip code for the area you want and it will list the houses. Can sometimes get a better deal since the seller does not have to pay 6% commission.
