Right, and in the states it may seem cheap, but that's because the certain states that people live in, pay less money. So you get less money thus the whole state lowers the cost of the rent, because it's not like anybody can rent if they're making less money than you expect.

So take for example California, where the minimum wage is higher than a majority of the rest of the country, their renting will be 2 or 300 dollars more at least, than a regular state that rents $500.00-$600.00 a month.. So you're looking at $800.00 USD for a good deal in California.. $500.00 USD in cali would be under "extremely good", if it's a good place, but it probably wouldn't be.

It all depends on what you're looking for, where it's at, the current house prices in the area, how much money you make in minimum wage jobs, etc.
