Hey Lexi - we average ~$850/unit... 1/1's are closer to ~$900/month, and the studios are ~$800/month.

Check out YouTube - many audio books you can listen to on YouTubeThat's where I listened to emyth and rich dad poor dad

It was only recently, when listening to the audio book "The Compound Effect" did I truly grasp how much I required immediate gratification. 

We did move to Denver from DC though, so our 816 sqft duplex unit was palatial compared to the 500 soft studio we were living in in DC!

There is a company out of Canada called Honomobo that makes live-in ready studios/1 bedrooms ect. out of old shipping containers.

Never heard of them.But want to say welcome to BP community, hope all is well.What was my driving force was eating up audio books to speed up the gaining knowledge process, in return I would gather my questions faster for more deeper research.also all podcast/video-blogs from BP, listen to all of them until you start feeling a craving for a certain niche, then focus more on that new found hunger.recommended books:-Rich Dad Poor Dad-Millionaire Real Estate Agent (known as the Red book within REA's)-Millionaire Real Estate Investor (known as the Blue book within REA's)-4 hour work week-The E Myth for Real Estate Investors-Profit First-10x Rule-Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing (free from BP)Good luck, you seek , you will find#keepthehustle #lifeisworthliving #rethinklife

I listen to a lot of audio books (on Audible) to get away from the REI podcasts.

The rents in the city on average is around $1200 for a studio and rising. 

I am an architect and last year I designed and built a 360 s.f. studio ADU above a 480 s.f. 2-car garage.  

I used to live in Chelsea and paid ridiculous rent for my studio after my company stopped paying for my relocation.. just bought a 2bedroom in the middle of union city, old brick building, less than 150k and its berautiful, got full NYC city views and rented on of my rooms for 900/m, so now im living free.
