yall should move to the rust belt. my friend just bought a well kept 3 bedroom house on 1/4 acre for 37k.

tho apparently two days after he moved in the landlord of the place next door showed up and tried to chop the neighbor girl's dog's head off with a machete because she was late on rent and so he had to call the cops and borrow a .357 from his dad

ovary, you know any private landlords?

wHATcOLOR · 03-14-2020, 09:40 PM

it went up a good amount in new york

by private landlords you mean like individuals rather than property management companies? if so most landlords around here are individuals. and they're generally better landlords because they're actual people rather than corporations.

our first house in town was 500/month for a 1930s Craftsman, 3bed 1bath. Very sweet little house till we got chased out by rats.

management company. i just got the renewal letter in the mail. rent is not going up but they are starting to charge $30 for water/sewer/trash... so it's going up $30 from $1050 to $1080. No way I'm moving over $360 extra a year, but it sucks I'm at their mercy. They are good with maintenance, it's in a safe place, and it's pretty much the cheapest place around here in a good neighborhood (and $100 a month isn't worth living in a shitty area of South FL, that's for sure), so I'm pretty satisfied. Shit's just expensive in this area.

last place I had was a studio attached to a house, was $450 and went up to $500. I had it made there but I couldn't live in 250 sq feet anymore after 7 years

Anyone here own a house without dual incomes being involved?

killtrocity · 03-16-2020, 04:44 PM

Does my parents' trust fund count as dual income?
