My mortgage is about 1600 / month, I have a 3.75% APR interest rate (which is is nearly impossible to beat). Total after taxes it is about 2400 / month for just taxes and the mortgage.
We build the house last year, last month I got a suplemental tax bill for about 1500 for proberty value increase or something like that.
On top there is trash, HOAs and all the regular maintenance.

I would love to see where you can get buy a 300K house and pay only 1200 / month. I would probably reconsider investing in real-estate if that is possible.
