Tipping the Scales

So I haven't editted this in a while cause I have been liking my surrounding :) Well recently I decided I might want to make this situation a little more permanent. So I started checking out some real estate, and thats when I got mad. Check this out.

Lets say I am looking for a place where the mortgage will cover 300K. Here are some of my options

  1. A one Bedroom, 1 Bathroom Condo in OAKLAND CA 426sq ft $304,990
    Check it out


  2. One Bedroom, 1 Bathroom House in Union City,CA 672 sq ft. $259,000
    Check it out


  3. A 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom Condo in Fredmont,CA 665sq ft $310,000.
    Check it ... well I guess just read its words
Now this is ridiculous so I think I am going to start looking elsewhere, while still able to keep my job. So far I am leaning on this.


A 4 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom House in Rio De Janeiro,Brazil 680 sq meters (thats 6480 sq ft) for $350,000 USD
Check this out

You do the math, I could keep my job and just get one of those verizon network adapters and never see a residential neighborhood again. I like South American Food, South American Weather and South American Women so I don't know whats stopping me other than the initial investment. Got to get out of debt first. I could always become a drug lord down there. The Porteguise language might be a barrier but all I got to learn is "Where is the bathroom?" and "Another Round over hear"
