I don't believe you'll be able to find a home under 250k and it will still need a lot of work. I recently bought a pretty basic house for 375 and already (4 months) needed to out 75k in (new roof, windows, doors, oil tank removal and propane installation) We each earn about 60k and have no kids. Our mortgage is 2,500 and other bills total about the same amount so our break even requirement for living (for us with our lifestyle and animals) is about 5k a month

To say that most affordable homes in VT are dilapidated would be a massive understatement. At this rate you’d be better off buying some land with a buddy and build a multi unit home to both live in and rent out the extra units.

Perhaps where you live. Plenty of houses under $200k in southwest VT.
