So you have a decent house that's $900 a month all in or that's what it would cost?
Doeant seem like buying a rv and paying $500 for a campsite and maybe a storage u it is really any cheaper.
Now if you're talking a lot more for renting a house then that's different.
Just make sure you get a big trailer, lol.
So, for our house rent, our water bill, our electric bill, trash, and internet, our total cost every month to rent the place we are in now is roughly $930. However, rent is $650. Our biggest problem is that rent for a nice house in nice neighborhoods are renting at a minimum of around $800-$900. That is just the rent. Apartments are not much better, being nearly the same price with the nice neighborhood/bad neighborhood situation, but they do not allow animals under the specifications that we need. We can buy a house, no problem, but we do not have the money for a hefty down payment and we are not interested in mortgaging something at least until we are out of school. With the loan process of financing a camper, plus the $500 at an RV park, we are looking at spending roughly $700 per month at a maximum.
It is only $200 cheaper than normal, but we just cannot find a deal as good as the one we currently have, and our lease will be ending in September, and there is no possibility of renewing it due to the owner wishing to sell the house.
$200 is a large trade-off for such a reduced space and lifestyle, but it is our only option given our specific situation.
