And that $10,000 isn't an asspull number. It's what my grandmother paid to replace her roof last year in the same area as those rents. Remember, that's $10,000 OVER her monthly mortgage and home owner's insurance Alright cool so that means house prices are pretty low and you can easily budget in $10k then. A similar house to my grandma's is currently in the market for $140,000. Full size basement, around 2000 SQ ft. Not sure what a similar size house rents for Then your math is very very off. $350 is barely half the mortgage payment a month without adding in any kind of property tax or home owners insurance. Either her house is worth a whole lot less than 140k, rent in the area is no where near $350 a month, or you are just making things up. Beyond that for what is basically a 1200sqft house (not counting the finished basement) unless she went and bought the most expensive slate tiles on the market, she didnt pay anywhere near 10k for a roof unless she got ripped off horribly. --- This signature has been deleted due to people being much too sensitive about religion. <cite>BuzzyTheCat posted [p:890933987] in America: T...
