What advice would you give my friend?

Basic details of my friend:
–Been married for 4 months to a man from England who is now taking a 6 month job on a cruise ship.
–She has yet to hold down a job for more than a year.
– They have $10K in savings and investments.
– This land is in Mass.

There is a land sale in her area with land appraised at $41K, but she has the idea that she can get it for $10K. They couldn’t build for at least 6 years. Getting a loan would be tough as her credit rating is shot and he doesn’t have one.

What would you tell her? To snap out of it or go for it?

I’m trying to be a good friend, but it’s hard to be a good friend when I see so much problem! I know that taxes alone on land is insane, but that may just be farmland (we own over 2000 acres).
Just to let you know, I’m suggesting that they save the money, add to it and use for a down payment on a house in a few years.
She’s American. Forgot to mention that.
Gah! How silly am I not to tell you the most important part?

Yes, they will be purchasing it to build a home in the future. How they will afford that, I have no idea. They both, even after marriage, could only afford to live with family.

Has anyone bought a HUD house, need advice?

I would like to know if anyone has bought a HUD foreclosure home? What is involved in the process and is it hard getting banks to finance the purchase? Also, has anyone ever bought a foreclosure from the court house(sheriffs sale)? How would I get financing for that when you have to bid on the property? Im new at all this and my first purchase will be for myself to live in. Any info is greatly appreciated.
