Re: Rent
My wife had a great job offer in California starting next year. The wage was great, just not great enough. California is really expensive to rent or buy property. We had to rule that dream out (my dream) a while ago

Only reason we stay here is that I can walk to work in 5mins.
for a house... around here a 1000sqrft place will run you around $2.5k/month... want a garden... add a few hundred more.

Re: Rent

How the F**K do you all manage ?................. I think our mortgage payment of just over $600 a month including escrow is crippling
You must all be mega rich or on out of this world pay.

Re: Rent
$600/month mortgage.. haha thats funny
here for a 1st time buyer,something half decent youre looking at say a $500K mortgage, maybe 2500-3000/month including taxes
or I am renting a 3 bedroom place for $2200 but thats pretty cheap
1 bed, something nice between 1000-1500. Anything less than $1000 is probably just a very small apartment of flatshare

It's fantastic over there, however, they are right when they say people are becoming unwilling to move there due to expense.

It's a hidden poll btw.
In Maine, $800 got you a 2-3 bedroom house, $900 furbished, with a lakeside view....would include snow plough/oil/water/rubbish.
So that sucks, down here, paying a lot more, and only includes basic rubbish collection (It's a pay as you go bags on top), water, sewage...electric and the big one, oil are on top....though snow plough is included....though where we last were, only after four inches of snow.
$1200-1500 gets sod all around here, tiny apartment with sewage/water/parking...so we're kinda lucky to have found what we've got, even though I' going to cry when the oil usage goes up, summer quaterly was $290, though that's mostly because the previous person did a runner and didn't fill the tank when we got here.

The house we have now is 4 bedroom, 2 bathrooms and we pay $900 a month including escrow. Have a pretty big garden as well although i dont know the size...its nothing in acres but pretty big for being IN Nashville.
