As someone who is paying a mortgage around the $2,500 mark, I can say this is a steal compared to renting anywhere within 1-2 hours of my area. I want to sell, but I can’t afford to… if I wanted to and move elsewhere into an apartment, I can possibly get something as low as $1500 but its run down, in a bad neighborhood, and only a studio or maybe if im lucky 1 bedroom. $2000, it’s still terrible looking from what I’ve seen. $2500 or basically a mortgage gets you something ok, but at this point, why sell and get something worse??? 3k mark is the starting point to getting you semi luxery, but I can’t afford that! That’s why I want to sell to begin with! The entire system is fucked… I don’t envy anyone that is just about to start their lives and move out.
