I can't afford to buy a house where I live, so I bought one in Japan. It only cost me $30,000.
Briefly

Justin Wong, disillusioned by the rising home prices in Canada, decided to purchase a property in Japan, influenced by his deep admiration for the culture and his frequent visits since childhood. He bought an abandoned house in Nara Prefecture for $30,000, making the purchase sight unseen with only a video tour to rely on. Wong plans to travel back and forth between Canada and Japan, fully embracing the opportunity to own a home in a country he loves.
I really wish we could spend more time in Japan. That's always been a thought.
Technically, we bought the house sight unseen. It was a little bit of a leap of faith.
