[nickinSTL]

38. that's about what my mortgage is

we just got the house a year ago, so we have a LONG time before paying it off.

[noamnety]

Has to be a great feeling being able to count down the months. We have eight more years, I know I'm old now because that's starting to feel like not so far away!

6. $1625.00 mortgage.

We just did a refi to a 10 year mortgage and our payment went up about 115.00/month. We will save over 27000.00 in interest.

[rainbow4321]

7. $1090/month rent for 1170 sq ft apt

2 bed, 2 bath, living area, dining area. Pool, gym equipment. Moved out of a house I owned to this apt in April. Just being able to request the complex's maintenance man to come by to fix something is amazing to me..as opposed to paying a repair guy and having to take off work and wait on that repair guy.

It's one of those "live in a faux urban/downtown setting in the suburbs". Love it. The lightrail train I take to work each day is in front of the building, downtown restaurants/pubs a block away.
Very quiet, can't even hear the lightrail in the apartment cuz my apt is in the back of the building, facing the courtyard.

8. $624

1800 sq feet, mortgage.

[Mr. Ected]

[old mark]

11. Well under $600 a month mortgage. We have an old end of row brick house,

4 bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an elevated stone patio and off street parking. It was built around 1920, double walls of brick with a fieldstone basement.
We will be paying it off soon.

[seabeyond]

12. 1,500. mortgage, 5200 sq ft. upper floor 2,600

but the basement is living space and another apartment, room off the side of that.

looking like i have a hell of a deal compared to some of the costs per sq feet

[mitchum]

13. $600 a month rent for a 1000 sq ft house with hardwood floors, screened in sleeping porch...

ceiling fans and ac, with a workshop in the back.
In a nice neighborhood in a hip little college town. I even leave the doors wide open all night (as long as we are home)
It's a pretty good deal.

[trackfan]

14. 900/month mortgage.

1600 sq. ft. in Los Angeles

[mokawanis]

15. zero

Perk of my wife's job is that we get a 3-bedroom townhouse free. Don't even have to pay utilities. Pretty sweet deal.

[MiddleFingerMom]

16. I rent a room in a 4-bedroom house with two 40-something working guys and a 20 y.o student.

.
The other workers are nice and keep pretty much to themselves, but
the student is an A-1 drama queen asshole. We're all hoping he's
miserable enough to move -- though we know he's just a miserable
guy and will be just as bad (or worse -- the rest of us are way
too tolerant). The BEST part of that is that he would be miserable
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
.
Nice neighborhood -- a block away from the bus line, washer/dryer,
one fridge for each two guys, furnished rooms, kitchen gear provided,
free basic cable and wi-fi (with a desktop set up in a common area,
too). Nice landlord who lives a half-block away but NEVER bothers
us unless we ask for something -- all for only $350/month.
.
With my financial situation, even with this great a deal I'm flying
along at treetop level clipping branches -- but I am STILL flying.
.
.
Life has been hard lately... but life has still been GOOD, too.
.
.
.
Many of YOU are a part of that.
.
.
.
Thank you.

17. Other than saving

enough to pay property taxes....my mortgage/rent is 0 dollars. I paid off the mortgage about a year and a half ago. 40 acres and a house. Since I am disabled, our County allows a freeze/reduction/cessation of property taxes if you meet the criteria. I missed it by 4 bucks last time I filed for it but think I have it covered this go around. I would be happy if they just freeze them at the rate they are and will be ecstatic with a reduction or cessation.

[Chan790]

24. $650/mo. Rent.

My share for a shared furnished condo in suburban DC.

I'm getting scammed. It was supposed to be me and two other guys; then my landlord decided he didn't want to go home after graduation from law school so he moved back-in onto the living room couch. Then, he decided to bring his mom (who speaks no English.) over from the homeland and sponsor her, she's living on the floor. 4 of us share 1 bathroom, the other guy has his own bathroom attached to the master suite.

As soon as my rental agreement is up in Dec., I'm gone. I hated DC before this, now I just want to leave.

[Seedersandleechers]

[femmocrat]

28. Zero.

We took out a 15-yr. mortgage when we bought this house. By re-financing, we managed to shave off a couple of years. So we are now mortgage-free. And it is wonderful! :)

[hippywife]

29. Nothing.

We have 8 acres and a little 869 sq. ft. house that my husband built himself. His parents held the mortgage on the property about 5 years before we met. Once we'd been married five years, his parents gave us the deed as an anniversary gift. It's in a rural area so the taxes are pretty inexpensive, too.

We are so extremely lucky and appreciative to have what we do.

:hi:

30. My daughter's rent in Manhattan (E. Village)
