How much money do you need to make to own a home like this in your country?
>>222259288Big dick bitch dot com
>>222259288Location is more important than construction. Worst case scenario location i guess there would probably still be enough demand for it to sell for €400k or so. About the same as a two room apartment in our larger cities. Inside city borders, ocean view, own boat jetty location? Upwards to €4million i would guess
>>222259288if you invest every day for 40 years you too can own your own mcmansion
>>222259288dafuq am I looking at?!
>>222259288At least $4 mil, but depends on the area. Close to a big city it'd be like $6-7 mil.
>>222259288$6 gorillion on the Atlantic Coast.$60 gorillion on the Pacific Coast.$600,000 on the Gulf Coast.
>>222260063Is the Gulf Coast just a shithole or something? I am seriously tempted to move to the US because of how much cheaper properties are there but I have no idea which areas are good or bad.
>>222260073Combination of the South generally being poorer, lower demand/greater supply, and environmental factors (sticky hot and humid climate that everyone complains about, pretty high risk of getting slammed by a giant hurricane especially if you're close to the coast, nature is actually more vibrant than it gets credit for but swamps/southern pine forests don't look as good on Instagram as world famous California landscapes).I would recommend staying in Australia. I'm from the Gulf Coast region personally, but I've traveled throughout the country and basically everywhere that isn't just as expensive as where you live now would probably feel like a shithole.As bad as it may seem now, I would put down money on Australia having a better outlook in the next 20 years than the US. People here aren't even sure if this country will still be a cohesive entity in two decades.
>>222260073Good area - white majority (at least 80%). It's that simple
>>222260184Problem is I simply cannot afford to buy a property in my country without taking on an obsenely huge mortgage that I'll be paying off until I'm 75, and the government is constantly raising taxes on everything. I'm about to graduate as a lawyer and dumbass me didn't research and find out that lawyers are the lowest paid in the world in Australia, literally the same money as high school teachers.My long-term plan is to graduate and get experience here then move overseas if I get an international opportunity, ideally to the US since it's culturally so similar, also much closer to my gf's family in Brazil.I know there's the whole "grass is greener" thing but purely from an economic perspective the US offers so much more than Australia. There's only so much "muh healthcare and clean cities" can get you when you're a hard-working middle-class guy.
>>222260230>much closer to my gf's family in BrazilI'm not qualified to comment on the details of living in Brazil, but maybe consider it as an option. They need lawyers too.The situation in the US has gotten bad enough on many different levels that there's a substantial amount of Americans moving to Mexico right now. If you don't care about being a minority or not living in a majority English speaking country, if you can secure employment you might actually have a better time in Latin America.
>>222259288'bout tree fiddy
>>222260347I was very close to moving to Latin America a year or so ago before I met my current gf (I speak decent Spanish from a Colombian ex-gf) but my current gf is strongly opposed to it because she thinks the whole place is a poor, dangerous shithole, and she lived in some of the safer parts of Brazil. She also is so hyper-jealous that she thinks the moment we go there I'll cheat on her with every latina I see (typical latina jealousy lmao).It's way easier to become qualified to work as a lawyer in the US anyway, we're both common law countries, use the same language, and the US tends to recognise Australian qualifications more than any other country except Canada.But we'll see, this is all just daydreaming. But I've had many relatives visit the US and they loved traveling through it, especially the South and Texas, and had nothing but positive things to say. I'm planning a big 3-month roadtrip for just after I graduate so I'll get a better perspective then.
>>222260407Yeah, definitely go on the ground and see for yourself. Talk to local people and ask what they think. Some won't engage, but more than you may assume will be willing to have a discussion. Like anywhere else, it will be informative in ways you can't get from online research.If you're absolutely set on moving to the US, personally I would recommend the Midwest/Great Lakes region even though I'm not from there. The South has been creeping up in COL due to the real estate boom, which is leaving the Midwest as the last "affordable" place that isn't completely remote or economically dead. And as someone who has lived in Texas my whole life, from what I've seen the government is running the state into the ground for the sake of making the big line go up as quickly as possible. We have a major city, Corpus Christi, on the verge of running out of potable water in a few months, and it seems like nobody in power has the urgency to address something that serious that you would want from state leaders.There would still be trade-offs from Australia in the Midwest of course, like harsh winters and dilapidated infrastructure in spots. But if you're open to it I could see opportunities for someone with your background to get by.
>>222259288if that's a mcmansion dolled up to look like a well built structure: about 2 million dollars on a mediocre plot with close neighborsif it's a well built quality structure with some small amount of land and adequate division from the neighbors: 5 million+
>>222260073>Is the Gulf Coast just a shithole or something?It’s ugly as shit and situated in the poorest part of the US
