A single shotgun (~600 sq ft) in decent condition in a decent neighborhood (say Gentilly) can be bought for $75,000. 75K is significant, because that is the homestead exclusion for property taxes in Louisiana.

A double shotgun renovated as a single shotgun (1,200 sq ft) for $75,000 about 6 blocks from the French Qtr on the border between good & bad neighborhoods.
