You know, you spend years thinking about buying a
traditional Japanese country house, and then you see
stuff like this:

In central Pennsylvania, an area I like.

Three story. "All brick"

And unlike a much better looking house on the site that
costs more than twice as much, it does not appear to be
on a flood plain.

The approximate monthly Principal & Interest payment
for this property would be $307.08.
This payment is based on a 30-year loan at a fixed rate
of 8.0% with a down payment of $4,650. Actual lender
interest rates and loan programs may vary.

If people don't feel like paying cash.

They even have insane things like this:

Is there anyone here who owns and invests in or rents
out property elsewhere?
