Just a couple of years ago I found two houses on Zillow going for $65,000 in Cleveland. A front house/back house situation.
When you say front house / back house is that like a duplex?
Two separate houses on the same lot, one is in the backyard of the other.
Oh that's odd.
Out of curiosity I Googled the term "backhouse" and apparently it wasn't that unusual around the early 1900's. They still exist but most people are unaware because they are out of sight unless the front house gets torn down, even then it just looks like a house with a big front yard. Growing up in the burbs I never saw one. In the early 80's lots of my friends rented them because it was cheap
