You can get decent accommodation in Atlanta for like 800 dollars ,the good thing is you pay monthly and trust me you can earn much more than that working hard ,a poor guy can easily pay it while in naija how many young guys can afford to pay 3million or more per annum to rent a good place in an estate ? In my estate the yearly rent is 2.7mill to 3 mill,bq is 600k or 700k,how many young people really have that kind of cash to pay at once? the ones living in this houses are regarded as rich (oil workers ,Yahoo boys ,trust fund kids etc,so it's relative 1 Like |

davidhobo:yo take New Jersey out of that list , the only cheap areas in New Jersey , are the oranges , Newark, some parts of Bayonne and Camden ( dominated by blacks ) the rest are $1500-$3k unless your apartment has a rent control ( which most houses don’t have unless old buildings ) 1 Like |

NY is very expensive. I am living in a good neighborhood in Dallas, the rent here for a 1-2 bedrooms apartment is about $1,000-1,200 USD. I am paying a good size 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms house and on a big land $1,000 a month + house taxes and insurance it makes $1,400 monthly. If you have a good income and a good credit history, you can get the house, specially now because the interest is low. Very convenient because the house price in a good neighborhood usually increases the price and you make money in few years. 1 Like |

You get your numbers wrong. Averages can be misleading and rent also depend on the state and city. 1 Like 1 Share |

In some areas, this is the average rent. Think of where celebrities and billionaires stay. The 'average' person & immigrant definitely does not pay this. Romangalactic: |

SmartKitty: But one can find houses with cheaper price in cities close to NY? |
Re: Most Average Rented Homes In America Vs Nigeria by Nobody: 9:53pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
tonyson010:Everything close to NY or Washington DC is not so close because of horrible traffic, Maybe you save on rent but spend much more on gas or transportation, time about 2-3 hours to get to your job, not because it's far, it's because you sit in traffic waiting or go 5 miles per hour, too many cars and people. Also many small cities in many states are much cheaper for living yet not so many jobs available and much lower pay jobs over there. |

You're saying shit! In my house, we pay 400k annually and it's just 2 bedroom flat and u can't compare my side to lekki, 3 bedroom in my side is like 550-600k so 3 bedroom in lekki will be up to 2 million. Lekki na for rich people |
Re: Most Average Rented Homes In America Vs Nigeria by Nobody: 10:05pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
cooooooks:5-10K is not average for Americans, it's very expensive. Average is 1-2,5 K, higher is for rich people. People here know how to count money. Average people, if they can afford to pay 5-10K, they better get a mortgage and buy the house and they will not waste money on the expensive rent. Usually renters are young people just starting out of their parents house, people with bad credit (no banks giving them mortgage), drug addicts, new immigrants, temporary stay when you move to the new city, travelers for work or tourists, etc. 3 Likes 1 Share |

You clearly did not read the thread. I said parts of LA/NY. For ultra rich. In the abroad, anyone with relatively modest parents buys their homes. Even university students buy their apartments with parents' money. SmartKitty: |
Re: Most Average Rented Homes In America Vs Nigeria by Nobody: 12:25am On Oct 24, 2020 |
cooooooks:In America parents have nothing to do with buying the house, very few help their adult children. They just release the adult children to the world. Go, work and buy your own house. As a parent, I live in my own house, I worked for it, retiring I maybe sell the big house and buy a smaller one or I sell everything, live in rental and travel, parents enjoy the life, or move abroad. Parents money it's parents'. Adult children build their own wealth. |
Re: Most Average Rented Homes In America Vs Nigeria by cooooooks(m): 12:46am On Oct 24, 2020 |
Not my experience. Parents who regularly make $150,000 a year (combined) give their children some money for the downpayment on the house. Some tie it to things like education or getting married/having kids or staying close to them. It is not as though the 'kids' can not afford a home. However, a parent adding $10,000 might be the difference between getting a house and your 'dream' home. SmartKitty: |
Re: Most Average Rented Homes In America Vs Nigeria by Nobody: 6:35am On Oct 24, 2020 |
cooooooks:VERY FEW HELP. Adult Americans work and build the wealth. People here knows how to make money. Unfortunately, many also spend big and waste too much. |
