Homeowner sooner than later?

Well, on a whim, I went online to see if there were any houses in my hometown for sale. Lo and behold, I found 2 very affordable multi-unit homes. The one is two units and I know the previous owner/tenants. Currently, one side is rented for $100/month and the mortgage is conservatively $65/month. Yes, $65. SIXTY FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH. That's 3 meals out. What the hell.

I can't imagine. SIXTY FIVE. Sure, it needs to be painted. Sure, it may need improvements inside. It means you would make $35/month even if you left the one half empty.
