8. My house needs lots and lots of repairs

The housing market in Oakland, where I live, is crazy now. Everything is going for really high prices. I'm afraid a real estate bubble will burst, and I'll be stuck in a house I just can't deal with.

I'd love $1,500 in rent. Rents in Oakland go as high as over $4,000 for an apartment in a luxury building.
