Nestled in between Chicago and St. Louis is the small city of Peoria, Illinois. It's home to about 100,000 people, including Angie Ostaszewski — a TikTok influencer who says she has single-handedly recruited more than 300 transplants to her city.
In 2017 at the age of 26, Ostaszewski was able to buy her first home, to her surprise, for $33,000. Her mortgage for the two-bedroom, one-bath home is about $314 a month, which is cheaper than renting in some places in the country. "It's something that I never thought was going to happen," Hayes, a first-time homeowner, said."Having a space that is my own and being able to do whatever I want with it is so empowering."
"When you've been living paycheck to paycheck and all of a sudden you're not ... so many problems magically get solved in your life," Ostaszewski said.
