Actually living in the county can easily eat up your hypothetical $20k pretty quick. You have to drive lots of miles every week for things. You probably have a bit of land, so you'll need more than a little mower. Your doctor is now 20-50 miles away, depending on type of doctor. In some areas, there's not a lot of professionals, so you're on your own for plumbing, home repairs, etc. So, yes, the house is very affordable, but you can rack up some expenses pretty quick.
