4 Bedrooms for the Price of 4 Wheels
It's hard to imagine a home selling for the price of a car, but nonetheless, some home prices in some sections of the country are now comparable to prices of luxury cars. And, no, we're not talking about Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, we're talking about Acuras and Hyundais and cars that are purchased and accessible by many Americans.
Some of the homes are distressed sales - no surprise there - but some are simply low-priced homes that need a new owner. All of them appear to have good bones, but need lots of TLC. Take a look at five homes with four bedrooms or more, that are selling for the price of four wheels in places throughout the U.S.:
