$3200 Houston Apartment

[Dameon Farrow]

Own > Rent

In general yeah but if you are childless I tell folks to rent unless they know they are gonna put down big roots. Renting allows you to uproot and split if you get a better job offer or just feel the need to dip out ie if you are planning on living somewhere short term. People sometimes fail to step back and put real thought into home ownership.

Yeah her rent is 3000+ but if she wanted to dip out due to job loss or whatever breaking the agreement would be her top concern.

That's way too much for an apartment

If I was going to pay that much I would rather a house but if she is happy.

It's dope by $3200 and not owning it is a bummer. With a 7% interest and a condo with that view let's say is 500k, it would equal up to around $3200 anyway. U cant get the same spot for 500k?

Lmao You in a big city?

Thats easily a 800k to 1 mil condo in LA

Rates right now, you aren’t getting much. But 2 years ago or more, yeah. You’re paying $1600 for a mortgage in downtown Chicago?

I guess all them bullets scared the whites away then huh?

u can definitely get reasonably priced condos in downtown chicago. but them HOA's might be a scary sight

I don't live downtown.

Houston is different. You can find a nice downtown condo for half a mill easily.

Thought Houston would be cheaper. ..

 

[JNew]

in Houston
The view was

I'd expect something like that in LA, Miami or NY. With utilities, ect, its close to 4000 a month, thats 50K a year.

It can be a lot cheaper. I'm sure she could get a luxury apartment in a new bldg in Downtown Houston for 2K. I haven't been home like 5 years so, maybe Downtown's changed.

She prolly couldn't get a comparable house in the same area, but 15-20-30 minutes out, EASILY.

Then you sell or rent that mug out ..

Always try to acquire property if you are able

That certainly works, too.

I see so many folks who just let their property rot.

 

[BrehWyatt]

I wouldn't either. I'm sure $3200 could get you a nice home but I don't know Houston area so idk

$3200 a month will get you something NICE down here.

It’s still cheap I had a few interviews in Houston and started looking at apartments. I checked on my old place from 7 years ago to see how much prices changed and its barely moved.

Like another breh said she’s literally paying for the shyt view.

Own > Rent

Agreed. But it’s still worth the price.

 

[Traveler]

That's more than my mortgage. I got a 5 bedroom home in Hawaii.
