You Can Buy A Home In DC For $1,490

An apartment has been listed in D.C. for just $1,490, but there's a catch.

WASHINGTON, DC -- Always wanted to own a home in D.C.? How about a 700-square-foot one-bedroom apartment for $1,490?

If that sounds too good to be true, it's not, but there is definitely a major catch. It's an income-restricted building in Southeast, meaning you can't make more than $60,839 in order to buy it (or $69,530 if there are two of you living there).

Also, you'll have to pay your own brokerage fees, and there are carrying charges of $1,000 monthly including all utilities.
