Maybe Japan. Great public transport. Lots of vacant houses called "akiya". Those properties tend to need a lot of renovation, but would probably cost much less than a house in the United States.

I definitely looked into that before. I would like to do that one day as well to buy a home in Japan and live there. However, to buy a home there and to have residence there are two separate issues that I wished Japan would make easier for US Citizens. It's almost as if they're butthurt about WW2 (as if they didn't join the Axis power and bomb the US first, and refused to surrender btw).
