I disagree with your last sentence conceptually. It took me about 20 seconds to find a good condition 3 bedroom home in Cleveland, OH in a well-kept neighborhood for $150k.

A lot of the Midwest just doesn’t have housing pressure. Maybe Minneapolis does, maybe Columbus does, but a lot of the other cities do not.
