I have rooms to rent in a home I'm renting in SW Austin. I'm afraid once I have non-hobbyists move in I will have to stop hosting. If I could find some hobbyists or ladies to rent from me that problem would be solved. Sorry ladies you wouldn't be able to conduct incall here during the day.

Rent would be as follows:

Option 1: $750 / mo (400 deposit)
Second floor room with adjoining private bath. Dimensions are 15.5 ft x 10.5 ft.

Option 2: $950 / mo (600 deposit)
Rent two adjacent rooms so you can have an office/study separate from your bedroom. Rooms are right next to the first floor bath, which you will not share except the occasional use by guests and roommates. Dimensions of the rooms are (a) 9.75 ft x 13 ft. (b) 12 ft x 9.5 ft.

Send a PM if interested. Rates may be negotiable, let me know what you have in mind.

Good lord, Austin is expensive. I will be back soon but I think I will just stay at a hotel. Between the heat, allergies, and cost of living, I cant see myself living in Austin on a permanent basis.

NOman.. HD is more than right. I too, have rent property, houses and rooms. You are wayyyy out of line price wise, and the restrictions you are stating make it just plain nuts. Cut those #'s in 1/2 and lose the rules if you hope to find someone here.
Folks can rent a place of their own for those rates, and not have to put up with a room mate.
Austin isn't THAT expensive.

"No it's not..." what?
you have 775 sq ft, he's offering 150 sq ft (+-)for the same thing you're paying.
by your "no it's not" statement, it sounds like you think that's a reasonable price? he's asking $4.50 sq ft for the small room, you're paying 1/4th of that.
I'm in dead central austin where the $ ARE high, but not that high.
at that rate, I could rent my place for $22,500 per month, and the place you pay $750 for would be $3375 per month.
Maybe I misunderstood your ...."no it's not"?

He also may have a problem with his landlord by "subletting".. I wouldn't allow it without conditions.

If I could could rent one room for $750 a month I'd be rich. Not gonna happen unless it's in a lavish Downtown Mansion or high rise condo.

RALPHEY BOY · 10-27-2010, 02:07 PM

No its not that expensive to live in Austin,

yes if you want to live in a downtown apt or condo its going to be 1-2 buks a sq ft.
but once you get out of Central Austin the rents drop quite a bit

aha, thanks for the clarification. I thought I had missed something. I wish him luck with that dream. Perhaps he's just trying live free, can't blame him, but geeze.

People I know who have rental properties in Austin have to charge high rents because their property taxes are sky high.

Austin and Travis County have impossibly high tax rates that are devastating to working, wage-earning people here.

For all their claims to be people who care for the plight of such people, Austin politicians care only about the purposeless bureaucracies of their employees, and the lobbyists and wealthy fat cats who live here.

This is the worst place to live I've ever seen for working people.

nuglet · 10-27-2010, 08:03 PM

oh yeah? try Vegas, Houston, Atlanta, etc etc. I hate the taxes too. I pay taxes every year (property) that amount to 1/3 of what I paid for the damn property when I bought it. But, that said... and having lived many many other places.. the bus leaves every hour..

RALPHEY BOY · 10-28-2010, 09:52 AM

its a trade off living in Texas, our property taxes are high but we do not have a State Income tax.

you think Austin is high try living in the Houston suburbs up to 3.80% per 100k value I take City of Austin's 2.25 any day of the week!!!

nuglet · 10-28-2010, 10:31 AM

straying off subject, I would rather a larger state / city / county sales tax and eliminate the property tax. Especially as I get older and realize I'm never, ever going to own my property. I've got a partner in every damn school, hospital, fire deptartment etc etc. As a landlord, there's no way I can pass ALL of the tax expense on to the renters, in fact, THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN REASON WHY there are renters. Around here renting is cheaper than buying. Don't have kids, never did (by choice) but I've paid for schools (and everything else) for 40 yrs and don't them. At some point you should be done with public debt.

What bothers me about county/city taxes in places like Austin is how wasteful these governments are. The local courts, police, prisons process a multiple of citizens than what they used to when there were fewer laws. The numbers of people in local jails as percentage of the population is far higher than what it used to be, and the courts' remedies for all these 'crimes' [like getting caught raising your voice to your boyfriend/girlfriend] involves anger management and other bogus classes in which the "therapist" is paid over $200 an hour.

For all those conservatives out there who think the Federal government is wasteful, they should look to the local jusrisdictions and the colossal amounts spent on enforcing narcotics laws, domestic violence statutes, traffic sanctions, and the host of other social engineering ideas which have worked their way into the criminal codes.

And this is on top of the waste in the school district [they don't need their own police force LOL] and absurd services like free medical care to illegal aliens, homeless bum crackheads, etc....that we never used to pay for.

Nothing in any of these new programs or services has increased the quality of life of the taxpayer one bit since they were adopted. If we just went back to the kinds of laws and services we had in the 1960s we would have similar tax rates.

I would definitly not pay that much for an evening only incall. I'd have to rent a second place just to work during the day. Are there any evening only providers to begin with? Who are they in case I get an itch one evening. Hey, it happens

Blah Blah, Again...

Depends on what you do, doesn't it?

My condo in Vegas has much higher property taxes than the place in Austin. Of course I sold my place downtown here, and live far south now, but still, I'm 10 minutes from downtown, and the taxes aren't as bad as 20 other major cities in this country.

So, Austin Escorts Guy, Why are you still here. 6 months ago you complained that you couldn't find the right suit here, and that you were leaving.... ???
