Rentors...how much is your rent?

[LifeisaGarden]

6 years ago when we rented it was $650 for 2/1 duplex. The house across the street from us is a 3/2 and it rents for $1500.

$585 a month 300 sq ft: one bedroom, kitchen, living room, utility room and a bathroom. I like it... it's quiet and that gay guy who lives in the back has finally stopped hitting on me.

Don't rent but do have rental property, one is Section 8 that goes for $850.00 off old concord road, near UNCC (if anyone is interested, my current tenant lease expires in May) and a house in Matthews (1,200 sq feet) that rents for 1,250, lease expires in September.

yeah I know, this is a shameless self promotion attempting to lure potential renters to the property...meh...I take every opportunity I have available to me

yea, it's fun but i just don't take advantage of it like i used to (8 yrs in)... in addition to looking at bklyn/queens the wife and i are looking at maybe finding a little house with some acreage an hour or so outside the city. i miss trees and gardens and such.

Thats where im from. Westchester County is a great place but VERY expensive.

You should look into Putnam County

Yeah I'm posting my place for 800ish/night since it will be walking distance to everything.

I might be able to get more, but everyone seems to have theirs listed at 1000+ per night. Figure I can stand out a bit if I offer less. Even at $800/night its an absurd amount of money.

If you own it, you are stuck with it. :)

If I were 25, I would definitely rent. Since I am older and married with children, buying is definitely the best option.

[Niner National]

If you're 25 and can afford to buy, why not? Hell, if I move I'll rent it and if I can't rent it, I can afford to hold it. If I have to sell it at a loss to move it, I'll just consider the lost money what I would have spent throwing away money on rent.

stuck with it? I know the market isn't the best...but every penny spent on rent is gone.
