Smaller city ?? <grin> Population 500 or so... Should have been in the Hee Haw show but wasn't...
Roommates have never been my idea of living, although I have had them up in new England. The number one thing that drives up prices is scarcity. There are few houses here which equates for high prices. Now I checked in Austin last night at a place I stayed a few years ago. 535 will get you a 1br 1 ba within walking distance of a pub Virgil Bierschwale Armstrong and Skipper Real Estate (830) 329-6774 Cell (830) 864-4799 Fax (830) 864-4726 Home http://www.bierschwale.com http://www.bierschwalesolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Kalweit Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 10:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] RE: job in ohio > Most places I've been, if you're not pulling in 100,000 single or 75,000 > each if married, you are poor white trailer trash. Maybe you should try a smaller city... A single individual living in a small house or average apartment can live comfortably with $40-60k in many parts of this great country... I know people around Rochester, NY where I live that live comfortably with less. > I'm seeing rent here in this little Podunk town I call home at 750 per month > minimum. > Problem is, the average wage is 10 bucks an hour max... $750/mo for what? A single-room studio apartment? That's about $300-400 here in Rochester... For $750 you can get a decent 2 bedroom apartment, but at that point, if you have the credit and plans to stay in the area, you might as well get an inexpensive 800-1300sqft house for $80-130k-- and even rent a room to a housemate and cut expenses even more... -- Derek [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
