[–] Morcyphr@lemmy.one 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) That's crazy. I'm in a decent sized city and the average rent for a 2/2 is ~$1800. Hell my mortgage is less than $3k/month. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] june@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago My PITI for my mortgage is $3350/month. Mortgage is $28xx something. It’ll be nice whenever I can get that mortgage insurance off. I was renting an admittedly very nice 2 bed 2 bath apartment for the same before I bought. Now I have a 3x2 1000sqft rambler and know that, while the mortgage is high, it will be lower than rent in the next 5 years. permalink fedilink source parent
