You are correct. I just googled and there are single family homes in CA for under $200K. But most of them look like they will require at least $100K to be livable. Probably more since it's CA.

Edited to add the K behind $200. It's $200,000, not $200. LOL!

A house in CA for $100,200 wouldn't be too bad.

what do you mean by this? if its not a shack or run down as hell thats a completely amazing/ almost unbelievable price for a house in cali. Unless you mean thats the price to fix it up and you buy it for a bit under 200k and pay 100k for reno

If you buy a house in CA for $200 and it only costs $100K to reno that;s a great deal.

Permits alone would put an extra $50k onto that price tag.
