How Much House Can You Get for $300K?

Syndicated — You may know where your dollar will stretch more when buying groceries or filling up your gas tank. But do you know the places where you can get more house for your buck?

$300,000 is a large sum of money, but in some cities - think San Francisco or New York - it'll barely cover a 1-bedroom apartment. However, in a few other places, $300,000 can be the final bid on a brand-new 4-bedroom place. See what we mean below:
