I just started school to become an RN and your videos really motivate me to keep going!! As a full time mommy and student it’s easy to get overwhelmed but I love seeing you guys post videos like this. It’s a reminder for me that success is just over the hill. Btw you’re in my area (:

[@NursesToRiches]

Wow, thank you! Keep doing your thing and don't give up!

[@julieann080382]

Bought a new house ( new construction a bit affordable ) in mid-500k looking at $3500 monthly mortgage @ 1700+ sq ft. plus in an amazing location. Even our realtor was shocked how we found one. Never give up! You'll find what you're looking for in this crazy housing market. We stick to our budget that's 35% of our net income per month. So that there will be wiggle room for savings and other investments. I will NEVER for the life of me ever understand the logic of buying super expensive house beyond your income and then working 2-3 jobs so you can afford your mortgage! Like its so ironic you bought a house for rest and comfort and now you cant even go home because you work all the time, you're tired and stressed out and you can't even enjoy your new home. Like why!? (I knew a lot of people like this entire monthly salary just for their mortgage) 😅

[@NursesToRiches]

Totally agree with not spending more on a house than you can afford. I left a part out of this video (intentionally) about a coworker who bought a $1.8 million home with his wife (also a nurse). They spend $10k-$11k on their mortgage alone!

[@julieann080382]

@@NursesToRiches OMG!!!😱 Thats a classic house poor! If its me, how am I gonna eat and live after?!😅🤣 Even if our friends will tell us our house is small, 1.) I dont care,I'm the one paying not you.2) We live here and we're very comfortable everyday. You might just visit us once in years so you're comment doesnt matter.Even in case of emergency (we really dont know) just on our solo salary we made sure we will still be paying comfortably. Crunch the numbers and always calculate before making huge decisions. Gosh! 😅

[@istandinawe6319]

I knew a nurse that bragged about living near this and that Dr. She worked 6-7 days per week (12 hour shifts)😬 I think I’d rather be home to enjoy my family

Hey you lot! I'd like to say I like your videos, especially these showing houses. I'm trying to decide where to settle in CA and the Sac area has a lot to offer. Especially, RN pay rates compared to housing costs!!

[@NursesToRiches]

Glad you like them!

[@happymunchkin2812]

Thank you. Please do more like this. I’m looking for relocating but not sure where.

[@WinnieBisong-Adeolu]

Your content is always so informative

[@NursesToRiches]

Thank you so much!

[@justinmyser]

Awesome video guys! Me and my wife need to actually start on getting our CA licenses so we can make the move.

[@NursesToRiches]

Get it asap. You can always change your mind later but if you decide to move later and don't have your license, you'll regret it.

[@justinmyser]

@@NursesToRiches definitely. We've been planning on it since before I even went to nursing school, ever since I chatted with you (Jason) on Reddit, before you started the channel. I'm a year into being an RN now and my wife has 6 years, so we don't really have an excuse lol. I do feel like it's very difficult to find a job at Kaiser there though. Especially for both of us.

[@scorpiorules64h82]

Hey Monica! Where are those cute pants from? Also I love you guys! I just received my certificate for surgical tech and you guys are really making me consider a nursing degree 😊

[@Momnicat]

I bought it awhile back but it's from Free People 🙂

[@monicaandraderandom]

Personally for me and my husband yes it’s more expensive. my mother in law bought a 2 bedroom and 1.5 bathroom back in 2014. For $210K that house now is worth 450K on Zillow. Major difference. And we live in center California as well as she

[@SimplyRozel]

We saw these houses 🥰 I really like the environment in roseville compared to sacramento. I actually watched your videos before moving here in sac 😊

[@NursesToRiches]

I can see the appeal of living away from the city of Sacramento. There's less crime, less congestion, more land, better schools, and the list goes on. But we're city folk, and we enjoy the hustle and bustle environment.

[@marizlomarda]

Thank you for mentioning the distance of these places to possible hospitals as the drive going to work is also key factor in deciding where to stay. 😊

[@zikaden6549]

Hi @Jason and Monica, you both are doing amazing work. Please can you include multi-family homes in your viewing? It would help some of us looking in that area. Thank you.

[@Natasha19999]

This is so affordable ; I live in Seattle where a tiny 3 bedroom home costs 1.2 million unless you live in a unsafe area with bad schools 3 hours away ; you need 1.4-2 million to buy a nice home

[@NursesToRiches]

That's exactly what we said when we left NYC and started looking for homes.

[@TopVillain]

Elk Grove is low key more expensive than Roseville and even some areas of sacramento can go for a million. East sac land park Curtis park greenhaven. I always had the perception that Roseville was unaffordable because it is so white. But it really like all the other areas

[@NursesToRiches]

There are affordable homes in all of these cities if people are willing to compromise on some of the things they want in a house.

[@courtneydthebarb]

Im about to take my teas test this month in st. Louis I want to be a travel nurse it's early but I'm motivated to come to Cali for sure! As a travel nurse is it impossible to live in LA or Malibu can you do a video for that possibly or cities close to that

[@Monstacheeks]

I’ve seen Homes selling for over $1.5 million dollars for the last few years…But I saw one today going for $1 Million. Prices are going down!

[@ginayu4817]

We really wanna move from NYC (living in NJ) to here, but my non-nursing career husband can't find any job in this area! He's an attorney and they have itty bitty of openings but not for his specialty. As a nurse, I am grilling him to find a job lol

[@NursesToRiches]

Dang, that's why I feel blessed that Monica and I are both nurses and can just pack up, move, and get a job anywhere in the country.

[@TheAnonymous916]

Roseville is nice, but too much traffic and gets crazy busy. That’s why I bought elsewhere.

[@worldwidewarner2898]

I just was looking in that same area. I didn’t realize that you guys were in Sac metro!!

I want to see Auburn! Im torn on living somewhere close to nature vs being more progressive. 😅 Bonus points for recommendations on areas for lgbt families 🌈

[@livinginsacramentosuburbs]

West Roseville will be a better fit than Auburn! We have had several clients with your needs. We have nature & accepting community. As you move into the hills it's far less progressive I'm my opinion. Feel free to reach out, I can connect you with some locals that can give you first hand insights regarding their experience around LGBT 😊

[@ericskimchiddong]

The houses over there is really affordable and nice but the location is so bad. You’re pretty much in antelope and getting anywhere takes forever. Even getting to the high way from there would take 15minutes

[@NursesToRiches]

Agreed.

[@livinginsacramentosuburbs]

Most people stay in the Roseville bubble, we have everything here. And there are back ways if you need to get to hospitals in Sac. But a ton of our healthcare workers are at Sutter & kaiser roseville

[@ericskimchiddong]

@@livinginsacramentosuburbs I agree people in Roseville stay in Roseville and that’s why I think that location of the new development is bad. You would have to drive 15 min to get to the nearest Walmart or target that’s in Roseville. Even the nearest gas station is far away.

[@livinginsacramentosuburbs]

@ericskimchiddong tons of shopping in the works right by this community. Costco will open in 2025 within a block of this community. Safeway new store with gas stations 1 light away & we actually have a lot within 2 miles. Now for a long time I agree, we've had to drive to central Roseville 10-15 mins, but won't be the case long term. I also cheat & have everything delivered 🤣

[@amigarcia6054]

There’s no way I would pay for an apt when I could have a home . I’m renting 2900 sq ft 3300 month and that’s including my pets . A yard , privacy But it’s really up to each person That apt is so plain I’m actually right down the street in Crocker ranch How much for a 850k ? I would Like you to do research and videos on bigger Homes , I love roseville . Also a nurse at same company !! Hello! And single so it’s just Me

[@NursesToRiches]

Yeah, the problem is that interest rates are extremely high at the moment, so renting actually makes more financial sense for the majority of Americans. There's actually a renting vs buying calculator that was recently published by the LA times and I'm going to cover it in a future video.

[@NursesToRiches]

Zillow

I dream about numbers. Monica's good at remembering anyone's name. Not me. We just got a new credit card and I memorized the numbers 10 seconds after taking it out of the envelope because I hate having to take it out of my pocket every time I want to make a purchase (although I do use Google pay or the browser to auto fill most of the time).

[@NursesToRiches]

Haha, yeah that's it felt like with all those stairs

[@amunra4015]

This is absolutely insane what you said about diversity. We have so much diversity in Roseville. We have people from india/pakistan, philippines, mexico, Russia/ukraine, china, ect and just people from all different backgrounds. The only reasons you could POSSIBLY have said there is not much diversity, is that we have almost no homeless on the streets(as you'll almost never see a beggar at your local grocery store) and we have very few black people (like 2% which I think is probably what you meant by "diversity" since the guy in the video is half black.) But yeah...your diversity comment really made no sense.

[@Momnicat]

The fact that you said that he's "half black" proves how ignorant you are. Similar Roseville attitude. When people who meet Jason and learn that he's actually fluent in Spanish they are dumbfounded that he's actually Hispanic. Afro Latinos exist. One of our biggest "cultural" shock is how much small minded people are just outside Sacramento. Just because you have a strip of homes that's predominantly Afghani and the next neighborhood has Jollibee doesn't equate diversity.

[@AlSun]

Roseville looks nice!

[@willkucera]

Is there a Mellaroos tax/fee on these homes?

[@moialder252]

Everything in Placer County that is newer/new has mella roos. Expect an additional $3000-4000 a year on top of your regular property tax. Check out Elk Grove and Folsom which is better, especially if you want more diversity (you are asian/black/etc) and your political party is blue/democrat/liberal.

[@livinginsacramentosuburbs]

​@moialder252 all new communities across Sac have mello roos. Folsom & Elk Grove have higher mello roos at their communities. Folsom is definitely not more diverse that West Roseville. West Roseville has become a melting pot with all the Bay Area transplants. I agree Elk Grove can be more diverse, but it tends to be higher costs not due to Bay Area influx driving it up.

[@designereats3661]

This is unrealistic. You didn’t mention the high Mello Roos and HOA!

[@SamihDaifalla]

Can you afford it as a nurse

[@NursesToRiches]

Most nurses out here own a home. Whether or not they can afford it has nothing to do with their income though. It's all about their mindset and how much of their income goes toward unnecessary spending. The median home prices in these cities are just that, the median. So half the homes cost more than the median and half cost less. Some people are just not willing to spend less on a house because the house doesn't check off all the boxes in their list.
