I'm guessing her rent is double my mortgage, if not higher.

Rent often is. But since renting doesn't build credit, lots of us can't "afford" a house even though we'd actually be saving money paying a mortgage instead of rent.

yeah a 1 bedroom apartment here is a couple hundred more than my mortgage is per month, so i'm sure NYC would be double or triple.
