Priscilla Houliston, a Pennsylvania woman, has made a viral video encouraging others to purchase a cheap church for under $100,000, claiming that buying a church is easy. She used a commercial real estate site called Loopnet to find affordable churches on the market and highlighted over 6,000 churches for sale in the US alone.
