2000 a month isn't enough for my 2 bedroom 30 minutes from the nearest city. But it was an upgrade from my 2600/month 600sqft apartment on the outskirt of said city. Fortunately we don't pay utilities due to the shady number of rented dwellings on the single property. But we pay more for shittier Internet, and are limited to 1 cell phone provider option. Congratulations, you bought at a good time. I don't hold it against you, but I ask that you understand that the market isn't like that any more. We're looking at 600,000$houses in our current neighborhood, 750 to be in the edge of the city, and they aren't exactly ready for habitation, but that's okay, they'll be bought and flipped (poorly) and resold for 50% more on top of current asking by next summer.

Assuming they aren't just rented out.

You live in a high cost of living area. I don’t hold it against you, but I ask that you understand the market isn’t like that everywhere.
