On the "servant" issue, the Panaminian middle class generally has a servant, and by that I mean someone who lives in the apartment say 6 full days of the week doing all the chores, cleaning, and cooking, depending on how much the lady of the house cares to do. Almost all houses come with a maid's room with its own bathroom.

This is the sort of house I'm looking for right now, maybe even a bit cheaper.Originally posted by Oerdin
That is actually a huge advantage. $70k in the mid west is likely worth more then $80k in California as a nice house in California would run $400k-$1m depending on the city and location where as in the midwest it is likely you can still buy a dream house for around $200k. Your money simply goes a lot further there.
Later, say 5-10 years, I'll buy a hundred acres or so a little further west, and build something like this.
Serious money can buy you this or even this.Last edited by The Mad Monk; January 26, 2007, 15:07.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

What you are looking at now would cost you 10X as much if it were in Santa Monica, CA.
BTW - your last 2 links point to the same place.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

You can't get anything my wife would settle for for under 1300 or so in the city. The extra 200 is the fact that we live in the "trendiest" 3 blocks of baltimore.

In my area the only thing "affordable" is a town house or apartment and that's only if you consider $400,000 for a townhouse affordable. The rest of the housing stock is either late 70's single family homes like this:Originally posted by Arrian

Isn't there any investor who builds condos, in which you can buy a flat somehow cheaper than a house?

Most condos are cheaper. It's just the location - any place you see high condo prices will almost invariably have even higher prices for a single-family house.Originally posted by Spiffor
