@coliver Want a few rooms to rent? I'm sure I'm cheaper than the common land lord
Probably, if you look for a rental 2-3 hours north of us generally it is much less expensive. 1-2 bedroom apartments around us regularly go for 800-1000$.
that's what they go for in Omaha, NE.
Right, we have are extremely rural here. The county seat has ~5000-6000 people.

Ah, yeah you're about 4 hours away.
$800 - $1000 isn't horrible for an entire apartment, on a lease or not?

You can generally get a mortgage around here for $600/month for a house twice or three times the size. That includes utilities and tax.

I didn't say you couldn't buy a house for less, but that I kind of agree that $800 - $1000 a month isn't horrible for an apartment.

Except you need either a local job, or a global job that has you seated in that country for some time.
But that's damn cheap. -

They use the zero clearance AC here or whatever it is called. So you can add it easily. You would not need AC in Molina Norte, though, rarely tops 70 at night. Almost always in the mid to high sixties at night, seventies during the day, year round.
