I am interested in moving closer to the college im attending and am trying to figure out if its cheaper to buy a foreclosed home or rent an apt. If I was to buy this house(this is an example of a random city), how much would i really pay for it? It is really $1,575? or are there many other fees that will get added onto it?
example house:

That’s a rental offering, so no, you wouldn’t be able to buy it for $1,575.

Although it seems to show the for-sale price as $1,575, that’s really the monthly rent. If you click through to the real estate agent’s website, it seems that they either want to rent it at $1,575, or else they want to sell it and there is already a tenant there who’s paying $1,575 a month in rent.

You are not going to be buying a house in VA for $1575. LOL And if it IS $1575, it will certainly be a condemned house or one full of city violations that need to be corrected before you could ever live there.
No, it isn’t really $1575. I highly doubt you are in a position to take on this property with the shape it is in.
