Assuming plenty of time, not much luxury taste, wanting to ramp up tech skills, limited (but existing) funds

Buy one, establish a hacker space, hold regular events, show the awesome projects you do, try to have community-positive impacts. Do some remote gigs for funding.

At worse you get kicked out because people don't get technology, don't want you around, find out you're not going to be a source of income.

At best, people love what you do, help you renovate because plenty of materials and help can be had in some communities, and you go from homeless to remote tech worker.

Is this a crazy scenario?

If you ask me, not at all. That's precisely what I'm working on (or at least, it's a part of the project).
