We rent for $1,780. 3BR/2BA house with fenced in yard for the pups.
We also own a home and PITI is $1,700 for a 3/2.5. We get $1,500/month in rent so we have to pay $200/month toward it, plus repairs and property manager.
I don't think we'll be able to buy a house for us to live in until our old one recovers in value and can be sold. The rent plus money toward the house we own is too high to also save a lot for a downpayment. Oh well. Our new commute is so amazing that I am just happy to be here.
