“My mortgage payment on 6 bedrooms, three baths, living room, den, dining and game room and two car carport, sitting on 40 acres is just a little more than a third of that amount.”
Braggart! LOL
One of the reasons we moved the family from Cali to Texas was the affordability of the real estate. Folks back home still can’t believe what we got for the money.
The other reason was we wanted to move back to the US.
Very true.
But it also depends on just what part of Tejas one is purchasing real estate.
When I was stationed at Fort Hood many centuries ago, a decent three bedroom, two bath would run around $650.00 a month.
Of course, interest rates (thanks to that damn peanut farmer we had in the White House at that time) were close to 10 percent or higher.
But if I still had that particular home now, it would probably be a gold mine.
Wish I had kept it and just rented it out.
Probably could have got $4000.00 a month, if I could have just found an illegal immigrant with a penchant for recycling.
