I spent $165,000 on a 215-year-old home I found via Instagram. It's falling apart, but I have big plans.

started by Elizabeth and Ethan Finkelstein that spotlights homes for sale across the country and abroad that are, mostly, less than $150,000. on YouTubeI was on the Cheap Old Houses Instagram, and I spent way too much time on there. When I quit social media, I knew I had to have my fix. So I got on their email newsletter.

Higginsport is a tiny, tiny thing on the map. There are really no businesses. There's one restaurant and a tiny post office that's open for a couple hours. So not a lot of people are looking for that kind of town. At the time, we were actually looking at homes in Kentucky, so we didn't even have a local agent in Ohio. All that realtors in Kentucky were able to send us in our price range was trailers, and that just wasn't what we wanted.

We've been staying with Connor's mom in Columbus and just going back and forth either to see the house, to sign papers, or to start clearing it out. We're actually going to be moving in here in a couple weeks. The downstairs has a kitchen, and there's a bathroom off of it. There are four living rooms in the main part of the house. They'll become a formal dining room, a living room, my office, and a homeschool room for our 4-year-old and any future babies.
