Wow, two bedrooms for only $1.5mil! What a steal!
That's insane to me. I live in Tulsa, OK and bought a nice 2400sq ft home with 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, dining room, 2 full baths and garage and in a cul-de-sac for 120k. But the downside is I'm living in Oklahoma...so... Yeah.
I feel that. I got a cute little almost 4 bed, 1.5 bath farm house in a smallish town in Wisconsin for 120k a couple of years ago. When I first moved here I was a shut in and the trade-off of not really having stuff to do out of the house was fine, but now I'm wanting to go enjoy the nightlife, have a good meal that isn't a bar burger (I can get some damn good bar burgers, but still) and also drive less so we're looking at moving to a bigger city in the nearish future.
On the upside thanks to the hyperinflation we've been able to get a chunk of equity that'll help us a lot when we do move
Well the good thing about Tulsa is it's still a fairly large city and there's tons of shit to do here. Tons of great restaurants and great nightlife. And as far as Oklahoma goes, it's extremely liberal here in the city. Which is crazy because historically not so much lol. This is home of the biggest race riot ever in the country. It's not the best place in the world but it's extremely cheap to live here and has everything I had when I lived in Dallas. Minus all the traffic lol.
