Housing prices are pretty high in cities. But you can buy your own piece of land in a more rural setting and build a small cottage yourself, maybe a 2 bdrm, 1 bath home. I believe this is possible for less than $100k at the right location. Start with a used cheap RV or mobile home if you have to.

Trump deported all of the construction workers

I don't support those deportations. But why not do it yourself?

I have a full time job which is entirely unrelated to construction. I'd get myself fired and then put the screws in the wrong place so the whole thing falls over
