Damn where is this?? Anywhere I look (say southern Nashville about 20-40 minutes out of town for example) is minimum $2500 in rent for a 2bdrm or 3bdrm house with no land
Northeastern washington. Prices have gone up a lot recently, but they have everywhere. Still very cheap here compared to most places. If you spend time looking you can still find good undeveloped land for 1k per acre occasionally, which 10 years ago that was standard, and you could find good deals on cheaper land. Nice white rural area, but still politically fucked, being under the thumb of seattle / olympia. Large liberal population center on the coast controls state politics.
That’s the same as in CA. Red, rural, white areas controlled by Leftist cities like San Francisco Bay Area, Greater Los Angeles, and the illegal immigrants.
I've seen Kettle Falls... you're not getting much for $790 per mo
I think the property taxes were like $140 per year
Im getting as much as i need. A house, 2 car garage, a barn, woodshed, and 21 acres of woods full of wildlife with only 1 neighbor. I have deer, moose, bears, lions, wolves, coyotes, bobcats, grouse, turkey, hares etc etc on my property, and lots of public land all around me. I bought my place before the housing market went crazy. As for property taxes, it depends on what your land is classified as. Mine is timber land so property taxes are minimal. I believe because they assume youll log at some point, and pay taxes on that. Thats what ive heard anyway. But im not going to log it off .
Renting ≠ owning.
Ya I also don’t have $100,000 to buy a $500,000 shack near a good area.
Edit: to give you an idea of what I’m taking about

Yeah shits way over valued right now. It's only really worth ~$220,000. At that price point $900 a month would be the estimate which is closer to what the other guy is paying.
In any event buying the house now at the overvalued amount is still less than the $2500 a month bill for rent you quoted.
