Rent vs. Own or vs.

Yeah, forgot about those, but not .

I remember the numbers differently as 28/36. Some websites still report this. http://www.salary.com/personal/layoutscripts/psnl_articles.asp?tab=psn&cat=cat011&ser=ser035&part=par236 http://www.vlender.com/cgi-bin/calc/qualify.cgi http://www.bankrate.com/bosre/green/mtg/basics1-2a.asp

harsh. btw 38% of 70K is 2215 / month, not too far off, and it depends what her other debt is. Fuck did you go to the same school?!?! You are calculating that before any taxes. Umm, the problem is that she lost her job (loan processor) and has blown through her savings. Whether the mortgage payment was 28 or 38% of a salary she doesn't currently get isn't the issue.

Canucks could be a tad less smug and self-congratulatory Canadians lie about their weight.

The house is an asset; any mortgage is a liability.

Once you start spelling Rainier correctly, we'll start spelling Cliogear correctly. mmkay? http://www.cilogear.com/60lws.html

Tell us how you really feel. Don't be shy! She wants the folks who will eventually pay a large percentage of the mortgage interest on purchase of her investment properties and capital gains on sale to go fuck off. Not even willing to offer a reach around.

In general, the rental market goes with median income. People don't borrow money to pay the rent (or not for very long), they pay out of current income. Supply is also a factor, but by they speed at which they've been throwing up houses, condos, townhouses as well as rental properties, there are plenty of places to live. Here's someone else's opinion: http://www.seattlecondoreview.com/2007/11/so-right-now-we.html An increase in rent from 935 to 1160 over 6.5 years only represents a 2.7%/year increase. Which is pretty much in line with inflation.

calling.

Hard to say, given the recent blip. You certainly don't know one way or the other, just like the rest of us, chowderhead. Name calling by Tvash. Oh gosh. How mature.

Three!

Two.

One.

Prices haven't bottomed out yet.

Oh please. We outgrow that phase just as men outgrow that "all that matters is her tits" phase. Ummm. We don't actually grow out of that phase.

Hey, don't forget to flip more shit my way for no reason.

That, by far, is the best example of unnecessary corporate welfare. Go Sonics! And take the Mariners with you!

Makes you a switch hitter. Definitely improves the odds.

I note that you didn't deny it and I recall you as being pretty far to the right. An independent moderate looks far to the right to someone as far out in left field as yourself. I won't deny that.

You're suggesting we eat babbies for breakfast with ketchup? Wow ... No. One way to look at the problems in the housing market is that people bid too much for their houses and had to borrow in excess to pay for it. If they could have been forced to pay less, through gov't price controls, then this crisis could have been averted. What do 'babbies' have to do with this?
