Yeah I'm from Maui so I don't think anything is going to beat the rent to what you get for the money ratio going on there. I'm definitely down for anywhere in Rhode island. I'm not picky. I just want to be close enough to jobs that it's a short commute, but seeing as the state is the size of Maui that's familiar territory for me.

I'm from Maui so both the rents going up for rich white people and the I know a guy who knows a guy makes sense to me. Eventually we're interested in buying a house that's maybe suburban to rural. That's where I would prefer to live. I would bite the bullet and live in the city though. From what you've told me I might be better off renting for a while and just visiting a lot of the areas I'm interested in before just buying a house.

Thank you that's really good to know. Most other places sound like they're definitely not in my price range. I've only ever lived in "bad" neighborhoods and I've been broken into a few times but most of the time it's been fine for me. Broken into once in 30 years sounds like a really good statistic to me.
