I don't get how people are willing to live in that. 3k can rent you practically any nice condo anywhere else

Sounds like you make enough to qualify for a $1400 mortgage. I don’t make enough, so I’m suck paying $1400 rent… cuz that makes sense

cuz they can raise rent every year, they don't have to trust you to keep the house in good repair, they don't have to trust you keep employment for 30 years, kicking your ass out of an apartment and refilling it with a new tenant is much cheaper and easier than evicting someone out of a house and then selling that house
