In Boston a one bedroom apartment can be bought for >450K. I am really trying to find a deal in the real estate market so my target price is between 150k-180K in a nice town. I actually just put an offer in for a short sale so I will be putting a post together about how that is going. Thank you very much for stopping by. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096005621734845090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540640229572269214.post-34748687593995562432015-04-14T10:32:48.438-04:002015-04-14T10:32:48.438-04:00Dang, real estate is super cheap where you live. 2...Dang, real estate is super cheap where you live. 2bed, 1 bathroom house where I live is >200k.<br />Cheap doesn't mean good investment, glad you're doing your homework.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />WEWallet Engineershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116295538595677882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540640229572269214.post-80257099431391868762015-04-11T14:52:33.480-04:002015-04-11T14:52:33.480-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Lemming Investorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648165456172117270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540640229572269214.post-36228880375337051632015-04-09T10:39:02.265-04:002015-04-09T10:39:02.265-04:00Yes, it's definitely a buyers market... happy ...Yes, it's definitely a buyers market... happy news for you, less for me! haha! ;-) We will be traveling with our three kids, starting from Qubec, Canada to the Canadian West Coast, then down the States all the way to south countries like Costa Rica and then going back to Canada by the US East Coast.

Thanks for the clarification. :)<br /><br />It's not very common to have several families in one home in this country, but of course there are bigger houses where you could arrange something like that. If both families would require 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, a house like that would cost around 450-600K.<br /><br />Example: http://www.funda.nl/koop/utrecht/huis-48927841-vlindersingel-218/Dividend for Startershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367068409161257275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540640229572269214.post-84489813423512026622015-04-08T08:03:09.571-04:002015-04-08T08:03:09.571-04:00DFS,

That home in Netherlands looks interesting. I like the outside of the home. Any idea what a 2 family home would go for in your area? I am hoping to find a 2-3 family between 150K-180K but this has been quite the challenge so far.

Boston for example is very expensive and probably in the 350K-500K price range for a multifamily. Unfortunately the seller and I were only $4,000 apart from making a deal. I offered him 152K but he wanted 156K. In my opinion it is still a buyers market so I will continue to look elsewhere for value. Good luck on selling your home. I know that is probably very stressful.

It's tough to find value in the housing market in nicer towns around my area. I am trying to find something that needs a little bit of work so I can put some sweat equity into it. 350K is a lot of money and way over my budget at the moment. Just to give you an idea of a 2 family home in a nice neighborhood that needs no work will go for 200K minimum. The home I looked at was cheaper because it needed work and it was only a 1 bedroom in each apt.

It looks like a lot of bang for your bucks.<br />Just a small comparison, this is what you would be able to buy with that money in my city in The Netherlands. It's a 2 bedroom 73 square meters appartment.

Always thought of buying and renting as a possibility but never made a move to it. As for my house, I like the buying part but the selling one demands a lot more in my point of view!

Easily the most stressful time in my marriage as she was completely emotional and I was completely analytical about it. <br /><br />Notwithstanding, I'd love to get into the rental side of things, but it is hard where I live since at the low end (very low end) I'd be looking at $350K minimum purchase.
