when I was a kid, while riding with my friends in a mini-van we would poke fun at each other while passing lovely looking houses: "there's Kevin's house! haha" now those houses are out of reach for my adult self. owned

in all seriousness I imagine if you want an affordable house to raise kids you could do worse than Akron. people I know say it has "gotten better" whatever that means. they could be delusional.

When people talk about areas with cheap housing, they're talking about the bottom of the market.  Looks pretty reasonable to us but this is an insanely depressed area and that's about six times median household income there

The neighbor (landlord type) is selling the house right next to me. It's a complete shithole that got absolutely torn up as it became, essentially a "trap house" where people were randomly coming in throughout the day. Pretty sure I heard gun shots at one point as well. The windows were open at one point and literally each wall I could see was spray painted with the most random of things. I guess the person hired a cleaning lady who randomly looked at me while I was walking into my house, sighed and said "there is so much dog poo poo everywhere in this house." Gonna lmbo so hard when they can sell that place for more than what I paid 2 years ago for a house that had been kept up exceptionally well.

I just sold a house my ex-wife and I bought in 2020. Bought for 300k, sold for 375k. (I promise I'm not a flipper. The ex began an affair with our neighbor in the rental before we moved into the new house. I lived in the new house for about 6 months thinking we were going to raise our 2 children there, then another 2 years as we worked through the divorce.) Anyway, turns out there were serious foundation issues and the contractor I hired did gently caress all to actually fix it. Without foundation issues, it could have sold for 450k, and if I could have poured another 20k into it would have been worth 500k. C'est la vie.

I am redoing the floors though.

Let's see... $230k, divided by 360 monthly mortgage payments, we're at about $639 per month of rent. Wait, that seems way too expensive, I never paid anything near that when I attended the public university system in the late 70's. I'd say it would rent for about $300/mo, that sounds good for a student. I don't know what insurance or property tax is but I don't see how it matters for a starter home.

Mortgage payment is closer to $1700. Gotta charge $2500 to make it worth the headache. Loan amount $223,100 Total interest paid $321,311 Total cost of loan $544,411 Payoff date Jul 2053 Principal & interest $1,511 Property tax +151 Homeowner's insurance +66 PMI +0 HOA fees +0 Total monthly payment =$1,728 Add a few hundred for PMI since I put a down payment of 3% into the calculator. anonumos has issued a correction as of 10:58 on Jul 15, 2023 |
