My nephew wants me to move to Tennessee. I'm a gay man that lives in New England. Just for laughs I looked at rents in his area. They are exactly the same as what I am paying now for a 1 bedroom. Not going to happen.
Sure, but have you considered moving to a holler in Johnson County?
I'd rather be in some dark holler...
Move to Nicaragua, that's what I'm doing. Tropical beaches, 1/10th the cost of living. Not actually the warzone American news paints out everywhere else to be...
Well you're in luck because I am here to help! You can in fact afford to live in Tennessee, if you can afford to live anywhere, because rents are as low as $200 a month for a crappy trailer in TN!
Just look at this long-ass link from Zillow that shows all the real estate available for rent in TN sorted by lowest price. Rent starts at $200 and a decent apartment is probably at least $450/mo.

I think the $200 a month listing is an empty trailer lot. The listing below it for $360 is definitely a 2br trailer.
