Wow that's not cheap at all!
FWIW: I paid that for an awesome 2-bedroom with dedicated parking right on University Ave about a block from Middlefield 2009-2012. Now that's like half of my mortgage for a house that's about equivalent to the average homes in that neighborhood... But in a different state.
- enos_feedler 2y agoYou had me at "wow thats not cheap at all" and then lost me at 2009-2012.
- gwbas1c 2y agoAt the time I had a great roommate, so my real cost was about $900. Given the nature of what I was doing, I wasn't going to eat Ramen noodles to chase a bootstrapped pipe dream. I ended having to go back to work for health insurance. (I had a pre-existing condition and the ACA hadn't kicked in yet.) Otherwise, I would have pushed a few more months. (I knew my business was a pipe dream walking in, and I knew I was starting it for the wrong reasons. At the time I had some emotional needs that I needed to satisfy, and unfortunately I didn't seek out the right resources to plan what I was doing.)
