Want to buy mountain land.?

I want to buy some mountain land somewhere. The acreage I want is about 5-10 acres. Every piece of land I look at costs over $100k but I am not rich. Do any of you know of cheap mountain land for sale for a low down payment and low monthly payments?
American land only and not in the desert or the state of Arizona.

I want a safe place to raise my kids away from gangs, drugs and crime in the city. I know a ton of what to do with mountain land as I’ve owned some before.

Buying a home in a bad situation?

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a home after filing bankruptcy (we had it dismissed) and doing a short sale on our house? Our credit mid scores are 660 and 690, we make good money (over $100k) and have been on our jobs for awhile. We tried to get a loan and were told no one will give us one; but when I read around it looks like it is possible. What is the truth?

Disney in Celina Texas?!?

There is something going on here. We have lived here 13 years and bought land southwest of town. We are still a rural area surrounded by farmland and paid $5,000/acre. What the heck is going on that would cause investors to offer 75-100K per acre for our land and all of our neighbors!! When the last investor came knocking we asked what the heck he wanted our property for and he said…”to build a hotel”. It seems odd that people would be planning hotels in an area that isn’t even remotely developed yet! We have heard the Disney rumors and whether it’s Disney or something else…there IS something huge planned for this area. All you have to do is look at what land has sold for in the last year. On average, our property value based on recent sales have more than tripled in the last year! Sadly, our taxes have tripled as well. All I want to know is…why?

How do ordinary people finance mobile home purchases??

I’m referring to mobile homes that are for sale in mobile home parks. Banks will not mortgage them because they are not considered property unless they are on their own land with a permanent foundation. So when I see these mobile homes in a park for sale at 60K or 80K or 100K .. how the heck do people buy these things? I can’t imagine getting a conventional bank loan because the interest would be insane. Does anybody know how an average Joe buys a mobile home???
Yes, I’m talking about mobile/manufactured homes, not RV’s lol.
I’m not asking for advice on whether I should buy one or not. I’m asking HOW do people buy these things, and afford them? It seems that if you’re paying $1000 or more a month for a mobile home loan, why not just buy a house?

Just trying to comprehend how folks buy these things, cause they are all over the place where I live (Delaware).
