Yeah but at this point, I don't know a single person or family paying higher mortgage costs than the average rent in an area, across multiple northern and southern states.
True enough inside any sizable cities.
I'm factoring in traveling but didn't make that clear.
there are still a lot of rentals you can find outside of cities for 10 to 15 bucks a day with monthly specials, or there were a year ago when I was driving across the country last year.
If living 45 minutes outside of the city proper, you can get pretty good rental rates.
There are no rentals on any rental website or Craigslist for less than 700, with those specifically usually being 55+/Medicare subsidized communities.
