We've had the house we're in for 7 years (in Rochester, NY)and are shooting to have it paid off in less than 3 years. 2800 sq ft of living space. And about 2000 between the basement and attic. 2 kitchens. 3 bathrooms. 5 bedrooms. List price 7 years ago was probably about what someone would pay for a new Range Rover or M5.
My rental properties have mortgage payments of just over $200 and both bring in $1000 - 1200 a month in rent. Properties are cheap as shit here.

You got it goin' up there, my fellow New Yorker!! If I didn't have family responsibilities here I'd be out of NYC and living upstate. Tons of gorgeous property, a couple hours from the city (more the further up ya go), can probably grow your own weed there, too. LOL
Seriously, ppl who work on the Internet should live cheap cause they can. Anywhere there's a WiFi or cable connection, there ya go. Sigh. Paying $3000 for a 1 BR apartment should be illegal.
