"Do you live in DC or surrounding areas? If you did then you would know that $200K is not a significant amount of money."

Do you know the cost of an average size home in DC as compared to the rest of the country? Or say rental costs for a decent apartment?

DC real estate goes for $700 per Sq. ft last time I looked. Rental is about $2. That number comes down the further out you go.
