    $2600 in Pittsburgh is insane. The rental prices with all of the MASSIVE new developments is insane these days. Look at the new places on the Southside, Strip District, or Lawrenceville and the prices are CRAZY! the tech sector boom has radically impacted a lot of these prices too but many of those sectors are high bust too hence all of the empty commercial spaces now

    It’s astonishing how much rent has increased over the last few years. 8 years ago I was paying $1150 CDN (so sub $1000 usd) for a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment overlooking Halifax harbour (Nova Scotia). I can’t fathom how much that exact same apartment is now. For the current prices, I think you’re getting a good deal. Sorry to hear about your life situation man, I’ve been a long time sub of your Autovlog channel (like before you went to California and rented an R8 if I’m not mistaken). Chin up, good things come to good people.

    That’s a great deal. Of course area is always a very big factor in price. Just for info sake. My kids are paying 2k a month for a small basement apartment. After the pandemic rents went trough the roof. Many of these landlords got screwed badly when the government said, no rent, no evictions. So, now they need to cover their cost. Rent may have stopped but the mortgage was still due. But anyway, nice place for sure Mike.

A 2bdm 1,000 sq/ft older building from $2,200 and keeps going pending what you can afford. Rents are ridiculous now compared to what they were 15-20-30 years ago and definitely more affordable then. You have a great place, the view is awesome the size is great and the price could be a lot worst.

    With the interest rates being what they are, renting right now is more practical than buying a house until those rates drop. Once the market finally pops, you'll be able to pick up an amazing house. That view is certainly worth what you're paying and you're getting a lot of value for that $2300. It's not cheap, but I agree it's a great deal for what you're getting.
