If I could rent a 2 bedroom house with a full basement for $350 a month I would be all over it!

Especialy if its on the outskirts of town, in a small town or the country.

I wouldnt live in a ghettoish area, ever.

I pay $260 a month right now, including gas and water for a 2 bedroom apartment. I live above a business and besides them my dad is my neighbor...

Makes for some interesting moments :p

All BS aside its hard to find a good place to rent cheap. Thats why Im still here. Probably will be here until I can purchase/build a house.

Try 800 Euro a month for rent. That pays for heating oil, water, and trash. I pay electric, phone/internet, and satellite.

twice that? try like 5-10 times that. by now you prbably can't rent a 1 bedroom apartment for under $1000.. we were paying $800 a month or so for a tiny 2 bedroom apartment.... like 7-8 years ago.

wow... i wouldnt know how to afford that... the house's outside isnt up-to-date, no siding or nothing.. so it looks crappy, but the inside is nice.. i mean a house is a house as long as it doesnt leak and other important things like that, you know.. but what im most excited about, aside from having the house and finally having my own place.. is that its on the outskirts.. not really anyone close to us.. i can jam out all day.. whatever.... have more privacy than i do now, not getting bitched out by neighbors.. and well.. a since of freedom.. but im sure that will change when the bills come :help:

geez, I only wish I was in your shoes guys, I just sold the home I was paying $1500/mo on, and will be moving into a newer home with more sqft, but in not as exclusive addition, for $1250/mo. If you can buy a home, it is much better cause you will always get out of it what you put into it.

in LA after the hurricane houses that went for 100,000+ were going for under 20,000. people were buying them, putting another 20,000 into, and selling for over 100,000. crooked realtors taking advantage of a natural disaster.

i wish my dad would of bought a house instead of a trailor. they're so cheaply built.. which is somethign you realize as you start to live in them. the trim that goes around the corners/sides of the walls and doorways is cut crappily... you can see gap. the wall in our living room has a big lump in it, which makes kinda looks like the wall has a belly... you can only really notice it by looking for it or looking at the right angle... some of the bedroom doors are funky too. but for twice the sq ft and the same amount of payments a month, we really can't beat it. his reason for not buying a house are that he didn't have a down payment for it... which sucks because there are alot nwe houses in area.

i don't consider that crooked my self, as long as the houses they sell are in good shape and such, i don't see why not. (but maybe i'm crooked)
