Its going to be tough to find in the south hills though, unless you get a house that has problems already (i.e. flooding basement, bad roof, etc). We bought our townhouse 2.5 years ago in Bethel and it is just a basic 2 bedroom (big bedrooms) 1.5 bath w/ a separate living room and dining room, nice deck, no yard and very few upgrades, and a one car garage for $110,000. It is going to be tough to find a townhouse or stand alone house for much less than 80,000 if you want a garge, a well maintained house, and in a safe neighborhood.
