Some of those houses are selling for car prices up here right now, so I don't think anyone who's looking to buy would be worried about a mortgage anyways. If you can't afford to pay $40K in cash you probably shouldn't buy a house in the US.

not to knock you off your high horse or anything but not all places in the US have $40,000.00 homes available. And if they do, I am really not into living in a 1972 Mobile home.
