Mapping homes you can buy from the US government for <$100k

# Summary The U.S. government currently has 2,310 homes for sale, with 361 listed under $100,000 across 40 states, including some priced as low as $5,000—typically located in the Rust Belt and rural South where foreclosed properties are worth less than demolition costs. These homes are sold as-is through HUD, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, often requiring significant repairs, and buyers should conduct title searches to check for liens and back taxes before purchasing. While the cheapest government homes are extreme bargains, they generally need substantial work and cannot be inspected before purchase.
