Cheat code here but projecting to make about $300k net profit from my businesses this year + some dividends and spending $1200 per month for a fully-serviced 3-bedroom in Bogota, Colombia. Previously living in Bangkok with a 2-bedroom fully serviced for about $900 per month.
For U.S. rents I paid:
$3500 for 1-bedroom in NYC in FiDi
$4000 for 1-bedroom (but about 25% bigger than the NYC apartment) in Santa Monica
$2000 for 2-bedroom in one of the nicer areas of Houston, TX
Yes, you can shoot me a PM, my friend. Happy to help.
3500 in FiDi was over 10 years ago
Was during and right after COVID before the rent market fully recovered
1bd penthouse in Chattanooga - $740 plus change each month. I'm also a short walk from the municipal golf course, where I regularly hit 12 below par
Thought it was 15 below. Which one is it now?
You're right but sometimes its windy and that makes it more difficult so I only hit 12 below
$4750 1BD in Flatiron.
$300K comp as AS1 as well
.
2nd year analyst in Chicago around $190-200 TC. I pay $1,650 which is pretty nice.
Can you PM me need insight on where I should rent/ live
How far is commute? How many roommates? Assuming you live North of the loop, just wondering how far
I live in West Loop. ~20-25 minute walk to office.
$3.3k 1bd in flatiron. I want to upgrade. $4.5k seems silly though.
AS2
~$310k TC
$4,500/mo for 2-bed in Santa Monica (live with SO who pays part of the rent as well)
$2100 for a 2BD/2BA in Tribeca
Toronto
$4,500 a month for a 2BD/2BA
~$700k TC
What do you do
700+ is director level in TO
Invest in yourself. If an apt with more space and amenities in a fire location will make you happier and healthier and enable you to pursue a long term career making a boat load of money, do it.
$425K AS2
NYC West Village
$6200 1BD
No shame. It’ll get me to VP.

U split with a roomate tho lol, cheapo.
AN1 $140K stub year TC
$2K in Jersey sharing a 2B2B
where if u dont mind me asking. looking for something at that price range but was looking at 2b1b but 2bath sounds nice
Analyst in the 150k - 200k total comp range - paid $900 a month plus utilities for a 2 bed 2 bath with a roommate as a first yr. Rent stayed flat for a second yr but lost the signing special since we re-signed and now it’s $1000 a month plus utilities.
In a decent area (west of downtown) and our folks are in the Houston area so didn’t feel the need to splurge in the area.
Would be cool to get into a townhouse / single family in the next 5-10 yrs in the Heights or something. Pretty far out but just a thought
AN1, TC 150-180k, paying 2500 for 2 bed + flex (3 people splitting 7500)
Will be in Chicago making ~260k all in after the analyst stint, wondering if I want to continue paying 2500 per month, how much more does that get me in an apartment?
Chicago is much cheaper than NYC. You can get something nice in the 2500 range for yourself. You can afford to spend more than 2500 given your income; but not really needed. NYC is just dumb expensive.
What shop is ~260k for Chicago? Is it Vistria Water Street or Waud?
