I had been a long time fan of Westinghouse, and it was time for a new screen, and the price vs. image quality, made it the perfect choice for a small room. I gotta admire your dedication to getting the house though, renting is a sinkhole, especially when the owners decide that they want to sell. Best bet is to buy something cheap enough to fix up, or affordable enough to still put money in the bank for something you actually want, and then flip any equity into the next pad.
PROTIP: Always double your first month of your mortgage each year, You can knock 15 years off a 30 year mortgage, by simply putting the same amount as your January payment, towards your principal.
There is a lot of un-used houses in the UK, some even went for £1. But the people who applied for one through a government or council housing plan to bring a once thriving street back to thriving had to get the house to a certain standard. However when the time comes, I will ask my family and co-workers about what is best.
Also I have looked at building a home or getting something along the lines of a mobile home and then placing it down permanently in an area, that does plots of land right next to other mobile homes. But if I did the mobile home thing, most of my neighbors would retired people. However that wouldn't matter to me.
