He said the minimum right now is about $2,500/month for something. He asked me if he should just rent or bite the bullet and buy a one-bedroom.

From what I can tell a $500k place would be like $3k in mortgage + strata + maintenance + internet + insurance, etc. So he's probably look at like $4k a month in expenses.

Does it even make sense to buy a place or just find a rental for $2,500. Numberswise renting seems like it's the play, am I missing anything here?
How much money does he make? Honestly at that point if I made anything less than 150k I'd just get the fuck out of here.
