the resell value of a house in the ghettos is not that much and unless there is some sort of gentrification in progress.

[quote="#1baller"][quote="Algebra"][quote="razzberry"]Here it depends on what side of town you want to live in. Here on the east side where im at you can get a pretty decent place for about 600-750.[/quote]

Waaw in my building even one bedroom is $820. I think Ottawa is one of most expensive place in North America.[/quote]

Razzberry lives in Dallas. I live in Houston. Dallas is significantly cheaper depending on what area (county) you live in.[/quote]

I know but I was saying that was cheap compared to Ottawa rent. Push that is quite expensive.

Algebra, I know, my area is quite expensive, but other areas of Toronto are a whole lot cheaper. I've seen 3 Beds & 1.5 Baths go for about $1200-$1400/month..So it really depends on what area you want to live in.

You could be right since I've never been to your city. It is a bit expensive for a one bedroom apt though.

That's pretty good accomodation for the price you suggested. Your fam have the ability to save money over a 2-3 year period then get a house.

Dallas? Im a Texan but im not from Dallas.

Algebra. If you are paying more than 1000 a month for rent you can afford a house. Save your self some money and buy a place.

For 2 years I was working front desk at a apartment building. The area was Crystal City in Arlington VA, right outside of DC. This was one of the more upscale places in the area and for a two bedroom it cost you 2,600-3000 a month depending on the season. The apartments were nice though and they were the kind of apartments you'd see on MTV Cribs, loool. Either way though in VA for a 1 bedroom you're looking at anywhere from 1000-1400 depending on the location, qualtiy of the apartment and so forth.

"Dallas? Im a Texan but im not from Dallas."

If im not mistaken, I recall you sayin a few months back that you lived in Dallas wit a somali roomate? Did i hear wrong? If so, what area are you located?

"Algebra. If you are paying more than 1000 a month for rent you can afford a house. Save your self some money and buy a place."

Good sound advice. I agree. I would never pay $1000. or more for a piece of real estate I didn't own. That would be throwing money away.
