the only cultural acceptable way to move to the middle of nowhere it so move to the biggest nearby city first, get mad at taxes or crime or something, then move to a smaller nearby place once you have clout in that state

fart simpson posted:lol how is the average 35k thats insane actionjackson lives in a condo which means it's gonna be more expensive bc of the increased risk. Shoot a nail in the wrong spot and you hit a water pipe and flood your downstairs neighbors condo, with no accessible water shutoff valve in reach. Plus it's a pain in the rear end to work in a condo,but mostly it's the increased risk. I remodel professionally and I'd say $20-25k is average for demo/cabinets/floors/backsplash/appliances/paint $1-2k for demo $8-12k for cabinets $2-3k for floors $1k for backsplash $3k for appliances $2-3k for granite/quartzite counters $1-2k for whatever else

the last one we did was $28k on a gut rehab and it was only so expensive because of all the cabinets. if your cabinets are in good shape, keep them and have them repainted to save thousands and thousands of dollars.

Always had real sneering disdain for home ownership as an institution and its tendency to encourage car-dependent developments. Now trying to buy a house in the greater NYC area and it's a comeuppance. What gets me are the neighborhoods with >$500000 houses and no sidewalks. Will let the thread know when I buy something as it will indicate an imminent market correction, you're welcome. ate poo poo on live tv posted:If you were a marxist you should know that the only thing that matters is your relation to Capital. Are you now a landlord? Then yes, you are a lib. If you own your own home, congrats you have achieved the bare minimum that all citizens would have under socialism. Thought socialism would give us nuclear powered arcologies with electric trams. Was this misinformed?! Also didn't know about this distinction between personal vs private property, thanks thread.

tbh our place was a former rental and in pretty rough shape, but they did a nice job redoing the kitchen and it went a long way on selling us on the place.

Anyway, even with rates rapidly climbing, I doubt we will see at 2008 style crisis if only because there are so many deep pockets in property markets. It doesnt mean there may be cooling but there are too many big players in it at this point.
