<prompt> Human: Id like my first home purchase to be under 50K in my mid-sized Midwestern city, perhaps as low as 25K. Assuming I can find a house without extremely expensive repairs, how could I finance it? Do mortgages that low exist?My income will be around 55K, but Id like to move into a place rather than spending 2-4 years saving cash to buy outright.  <response>: When I was buying a house in my old college town, I couldnt find any mortgage lenders that would give out anything less than 75K. You might get better luck.
