Landlord is trying to sell the property for 500K over the local average, and it is not an above average property by any means. Gonna have to move. Tired of renting and giving my money to some boomer parasites. Looking for a house somewhere my spouse and I can afford. Kinda bummed about leaving the city :( but renting really is a suckers game and I want a yard and a garden.

@willsecurity can't the tri-state area. All my ppl and my spouse's career are based here. I have looked at other state's real estate prices and it is... really crazy how much less expensive everything is.

@Expecting_Words Sorry that sucks... I hope you find something you are happy with.

@Expecting_Words that's why we bought a house during the last hot housing market. They offered to sell our 800 dollar a month patio apartment to us for 475K. It was great, but no. I still miss it but not 475K miss it.

@altamaha so there's this strategy which is extremely common in NY real estate. You take a property and you put it up for sale at an inflated price. That price ends up on 3rd party listing sites. Then you take that 3rd party listing as evidence of value of the property and use that to get a larger loan.

I'm pretty sure this is what my landlord is doing.

@Expecting_Words I've been looking to get out of renting, too. It's ridiculous that the bank says you can't afford a home loan for 1000 a month, but you can afford to rent for 2500 a month. 🙄

I'm looking for a rent to own out in the country so I don't have to people anymore.
