I just received the deed for the house I bought. In cash. For $3,860.47 USD.
It obviously needs alot of work, but the house appears to be dry and solid and the roof isn’t leaking yet, which is pretty damn good for that price point in the US.
Bought it off of a tax repository in Pennsylvania if anyone here is familiar with that.
We have until June before our existing lease ends, but I work remotely, so I’ll be packing up to head out there and I’ll be attempting to get the place habitable by then.
Likey a foreshadow to a long series of headaches and sweat equity, but, on the other hand, if things work out, we may never need to pay rent or mortgage again after June.
So… cautiously happy and fairly intimidated at the same time I guess. 
Edit: Well, to be fair, I received the deed with yesterday’s post, but I didn’t check that post until this morning, so I’ll consider it today news instead of yesterday news, because it was delayed (by my own lackadaisical nature) making the final step to my eyeballs.
Edit2: That picture is a bit cheerier than the current reality (streetview pic from a couple years ago). These were taken a couple months ago when I was out there investigating (trespassing) the property:
