yea it ws kinda cool. No running water or electric. We had propane delivered to run the stove, the mantle lights, and the fridge. Getting water required starting the generator and running the well pump.

There was lumber company land all around us and they let us cut dead standing wood for free so I would take the 4 wheel drive and load up, bring home, split and stack. When I went to school years ago I moved back to town as the daily chores took too much time away from my studies and work. The rent for that place was $75 a month, and 25 of that went back into the land for chainsaw maintenance, snow plowing, and other costs.

$900 per month for a 1 bedroom in considdered cheap for LA.

I don't even live in a good area of LA. There's shootings, graffiti, helacopters with their lights shining in the windows, and a Budweiser factory down the street. My apt would be $950 if I were to move in now. I have the best apt in the building though as it's on the other side of the building from the freeway, I'm on the 3rd floor giving me a great veiw of single story residences with big back yards, and I get great veiws of the afternoon sun and sunsetts as I can see the whole north west end of the valley.

I hate apts with windows that look right into someone elses windows or a wall.

oh i know A1 - - -it friggin sucks..............and the taxes!! holy crap, worse than KC - - - the good thing is that with the projected build and me being a landscape contractor - - i'll be installing some crazy water features and top of the line plantings as a show case for customers to come see....the property will be worth somewhere in the 300 to 400 K range in a year or so..............not a bad investment really - - my mortgage will actually be 75 dollars less tan my rent is now - - go figure

if witchita is still growing as fast as it was 10 yrs ago then property is never a bad investment, especially now with the market as soft as it is, if you can afford it grab it - -with a 200 dollar mortgage youcan look around and find a handy man type person to rent it for the mortgage, taxes and untilities and let him work the rest off in improvements to the house - -you may not put money in your pocket but you won't be spending much either and in 5-8 years you could have 100K house or more - - who knows where this market will go

a buddy of mine always says "land is a great investment because their not making anymore of it" lol
