Is this $400,000 tiny house in Oakland the perfect starter home?

This Oakland property with a cozy two-bedroom house and detached studio separated by a sea of concrete might not be your dream home.

But if you're looking to squeeze into the hot Bay Area market and have a downpayment saved up, it could provide a doable scenario.

The property was listed earlier this month at $400,000, meaning you need at least $80,000 to put 20 percent down (as long as there isn't a bidding war) and call it your own.

It's called supply and demand....if you live in a hot area where things are happening....not the shore obviously....then yes you will pay stupid money....not saying it's right but it's life.

That would need a cash buyer.

Does it sit on a gold mine for heaven's sake? It better have two bathrooms indoors for that price.

1:33 you are bigger idiot than the guy buying that for that kind of money! Anything on the Chesapeake Bay, Wicomico & Choptank Rivers banks or the Ocean front are a hell of lot more appealing than Oakland, CA......I take it you have not been there in a while.....
