80k will get you a 2bedroom, 950-1100 sq ft in an older neighborhood in many places in racine.
there was a really nasty home for 40k not so long ago, i could have done 20k in work and dropped it back in the market for 80-100 cuz it was in a great area.
100k will get you 2-3 bedrooms in a decent neighborhood.
i think our house was appraised at like 160 or maybe close to 200 with the garage, and we live in a desirable, albeit somewhat sketchy neigborhood.

we built that house for 30k and it was appraised at 70-80 before the second story.
my sincere apologies for the hijack.
p.s. -- i have no degree, 3 years of school, i do tech support for 30k, its quite respectable here, but its shat everywhere else.
