Couldn't find any for taxes, but there's a HUD house at 224 Lawton for $35,000.  That's pretty cheap.  Bid deadline is tomorrow.

Despite what some people here said, moving to California would be a stupid thing to do. Home prices are the highest in the nation at an average of $391,000. Gas prices are the second highest at $3.29 per gallon. So, if you can't afford to live in Michigan, you certainly couldn't afford to live in California.\n\nWhat do I think you should do?\n\nDO SOME RESEARCH!\n\nMICHIGAN ISN'T THE POOREST STATE...\n\nMichigan ranks 18th highest out of 50 states in average houshold income (and it is higher than the national average). And, because the cost of living is quite low, it is even better than it seems at 18th. For example, New Jersey is the highest, but the cost of living is very high there. The median home price in New Jersey is $291,000, more than twice as high as Michigan's $145,000. \n \nMICHIGAN DOESN'T HAVE THE HIGHEST TAXES\n\nRegarding taxes, Michigan's current taxes are $2405 per person per year. That is just $213 more than the national average. 14 states have higher taxes per person per year. The highest is Vermont at $3600, the second highest Hawaii at $3478.\n\nMICHIGAN DOESN'T HAVE THE HIGHEST GAS PRICES\n\nRegarding gas prices, Michigan's current gas price is $2.85 per gallon. 23 states are more expensive. Eight states have gas prices over $3.00 per gallon, with the highest being Hawaii at $3.38, the second highest California at $3.29.\n \nMICHIGAN DOESN'T HAVE THE HIGHEST CIGARETTE PRICES\n\nRegarding cigarette prices, Michigan's current cigarette price is $5.50 per pack. Just 6 states are more expensive, so you have a point there. The highest is Massachusetts at $6.46 per pack, the second highest New Jersey at $6.06 per pack. But, you shouldn't smoke anyway. \n\nPlus, Michigan is inexpensive in many other ways. Home owners insurance is low compared to the norm. Do you realize how much people pay in the hurricane prone areas, for example? Water bills are low compared to the norm due to the plenty fresh water. Do you realize the that there are water shortages in the west (Neveda, Arizona, California, for example)? I could go on, but it is getting late...

What's in a ZIP? In this case, some of the priciest real estate in the country.\n\nFrom Beverly Hills to TriBeCa, from notorious enclaves of mansions and lush lawns to little-known niches of wealth, we looked at ZIP codes around the country to find the ones where home prices were the highest last year.\n\nMany of these neighborhoods are rarified places, of course. They are close to beaches and golf courses and prime yacht moorings--or at least within spitting distance of the power centers that are the sources of great wealth. Thanks to their high tax bases, these areas also usually offer better schools, health care and public services--not to mention such amenities as better exotic car mechanics, caterers and gardeners. The homes are often proof of the good life, if not always good design. Penthouses and mansions abound, filled with the most expensive fittings, such as antique marble mantles, gunite pools and hand-painted hallways.\n\nBut there were some surprises. The list is testament to the costs of living in California, with half of our top ten ZIPs in that state, and nearly two-thirds of our top 25. It's not such a shock when you consider that California home prices increased nearly 100 percent between 1999 and 2000, according to the U.S. Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight. But the real estate market in some locations has made a u-turn since the dot-com bust--several of the most expensive places are in or very close to San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, the best known ZIP code in California, 90210, also known as Beverly Hills, ranked only No. 15.\n\nThen there were the places that indirectly fed off of West Coast money. Two of our top 25 ZIPs were in tax-free Nevada, but not in Las Vegas, where home prices shot up more than 40% between 2003 and 2004, according to OFHEO research. Instead, they were old-money resort bastions around Lake Tahoe.\n\nAnd while more diverse than postal areas such as the Upper East Side of Manhattan or Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, have more than their fair share of high-priced properties, urban areas usually ended up lower on our list. That's because those ZIP codes are more diverse than those that encompass exclusive and relatively homogenous suburbs where home prices don't dip below $1 million.\n\nFor example, a townhouse might easily sell for $15 million in Manhattan, a far higher price per square foot than a Montecito mansion, but a sliver of a studio on the next block may ring up at $300,000, bringing down the median home price. An exception is TriBeCa, a trendy neighborhood in downtown Manhattan, where commercial spaces have been turned into large, luxurious lofts for the hip and well-heeled. Here, in 10013, last year's median home price was more than $1.6 million.\n\nIn case you ever wondered, ZIP stands for Zoning Improvement Plan. A relatively recent innovation, the codes only came about in the 1960s when the U.S. Postal Service decided it needed to figure out a better way to manage an increase in population, as well as an influx of business mail.\n\nBefore that, the postal service only used addresses, although large cities have had postal zones since 1943. Now, there are more than 40,000 ZIP codes. The first of the five numbers refers to a broad region, from zero for the Northeast (draw what conclusions you will) to nine for the West Coast. The second and third digits narrow to population centers, and the last two represent individual post offices or postal zones.\n\nA ZIP code can include a very wealthy neighborhood along with a less-pricey one, which means there are some limits to our list. This may be why areas such as Jupiter Island, Fla., and New York's Hamptons didn't make the cut.\n\nAlso, though median home price is a solid gauge of a real estate market, it doesn't exactly measure the top prices in an area. The median is where half of all sales were above and half were below. So, an estate could go for $30 million and another

I wish i had perfect answer...........but I DO know somethings about here......\n1.   The state of Florida has homes for small money.........but u also get smaller pay.  It may be a good choice, because the weather is nice ( no snow )  and if you do not live near the beach....... there are nice towns and homes are not much money.\n2.  Massachusetts is not good, because you pay a lot in taxes and the homes are TOO MUCH money\n3.  Ohio has homes for VERY little money......but there is NO work.\n4.  Do NOT go to a big city like New York, New York,,, because the homes are BIG BIG money and if you live outside the big city........it will be a LOT of traveling for you.\n5.  For some reason, many of the people that I know that have come here have gone to live in Michigan.   I do not know why... maybe it is a good place.\n6. If you choose California... do NOT try to live in Los Angleos or any famous towns or cities...........it is a lot of money to live there.\n7.  I suggest maybe North Carlolina ......... it is warm....  nice homes..........\n8.  The upper top of the US get too much snow.. and I do not suggest living there.\n9..  MOST important.......... if u can get to MonsterJobSearch.com   u can look for jobs NOW...... before you come.......... u can see in each state...... what kind of jobs are out there\n10.  Wish I could help more

It depends on what you want to do for a living.  You obviously want to go somewhere where you will be able to earn if you have to.\n\nHousing costs can make it prohibitive to live in places like Washington DC, where the unemployment rate is practically nothing, but a three bedroom townhome costs 400,000 dollars 1 hour out from the city.  \n\nThere are lots of nice cities in the mid west like Des Moines, and further west like Topeka, Lawrence, Omaha, Tulsa, etc, where the dollar still buys you a decent house and where you have adequate social offerings from local universities.  Yes, they do get some winter but offer four seasons and a nice balance.  Believe it or not, Joplin Mo, for example, is quite a jumping town for a little city, with a quaint city center and some light industry and other prospects keeping the economy going.  You can get a decent house there for 150,000.  Eastern Kansas, Eastern Oklahoma have hill country and trees and the snobbier sort of shallow people that sometimes "must" live on one cost or the other stay away, keeping the costs down.  If you must live on the coast, Wilmington NC gives you a little value, a quaint city center, and water sports, beaches, etc.  A little pricey for NC, but there you are.\n\nI would caution you at your age that moving is not very easy when you leave your support network and friends and move somewhere where the support structures are not transitory (people don't move away).  It can be hard to break in.\n\nGood Luck.

Where in the united states are you living?

Santa Monica is probably the most expensive, followed by San Diego. L.A is probably your best choice as the population is quite diverse and the cost of living is not as bad.

For what? City subsidized homes?  Military housing?  Where are you? (That might help people in giving you answers.)

Well, if cost is an issue, move to Missouri. It is SOOO cheap to live here. I moved here from NY, and bought a beautiful home, for a FRACTION of what it would have cost me in NY. And are you black? Because we NEED black people to move here...there are like 3. That's it! I miss my black friends. But there's a lot of jobs opening up, and this place is growing, so if you get in now you'd be sitting pretty in about 5 years! You could probably rent a 1 bedroom for under $300.00
