You value financial freedom to pack up and move whenever you want, I get it, good forr youuuuu. I don't need that particular freedom anymore, I hate moving, I'd rather be stable where I am.
I rented for 6 years. I had very good landlords (not a single rent raise either in those 6 years) but shitty neighboring tenants. I learned that co-habitation is just not for me.
I agree that there are a lot of people are overextending themselves for over-valued property. Personally, I'm not worried, because I have a brain. I'm not one of those 5% down - 80% income to mortgage people, I bought well within my affordability. |
Then ur problem was living with other ppl, not rent vs own.
I, too,hate other people, that's why I would never own a condo or townhouse to live in - renting them means you can move at a whim
