But back to the OP - good to hear you’re not bitter about it
Paying someone else's mortgage, so that you can avoid paying one yourself (and building equity along with having a fixed price and interest rate) is 4D chess.

Never encountered such a bitter group of people with such transparent cope.

Spoiler!
maybe I have the causation backwards and bitter people tend to become rentcels
Agreed OP.

Bold one is always my favourite. They always brag about how much they can invest if they aren't tied down to mortgage payments; yet I doubt any of them actually make what they say, and invest what they say.

Quantitatively, you can make more with the investment tactic, should it work in your favour. However, they never consider other factors that will impact this:
1. They always state very aggressive portfolios, which would need to be maintained throughout their life (most people shift to safer portfolios as they get older)
2. All it takes is one massive crash to put you in a panic.
3. Owning a home is the easiest peace of mind you can have once it's paid off

This totally depends on the market that you live in( heat in the current market.. cash offer/overbidding)
The job market in the city( people leaving vs arriving) and
The average prices of units.
I am helping the gf now and the 1 bedrooms are $2,200 vs $2,700-$3,200 for 2 bedrooms in nice hotel like newer buildings( DC and suburbs)

A friend in Prague told me 2 bedrooms go for $650, lol

Because they get asked how many millionaires are rentcels and they sit back, sigh and start to cope

They have this idea if the mythical rentcel millionaire who lives his entire life in a one bedroom apartment investing all his money and convince themselves that’s why they don’t own

Came in to say basically what you said.

In another thread I pointed out how they could have bought a condo/apartment and not only own it but be paying a lot less than rent of the same sized apartment. At least they wouldn't have section 8 trash living across the hall.

Face it, if they were that financially smart they would be owning a home.

Yeah the whole rent a 1 BR dump vs own a 4 BR house thing always get me. Like you know you can also own a 1 BR dump right and it’s going to cost less in almost every city in America lol

Not to mention rent increases over 30 years vs a fixed mortgage

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4...83397896_zpid/

Estimated mortgage $383/mo. Probably taxes, fee's all in you are talking about under $600/mo. Got 2br can get a roomate and pay for that.

One miscer talked about renting a 3br and then renting the other two rooms out and having the rent paid. LMAO yeah I wish he would try that and see how it works out. So many theories and hypothetical ideas that don't play out into real life.
