Mind=Blown at people who RENT.

If you rent because youre a broke college kid, okay sure, thats understandable.

BUT if youre in your mid 20s or older, are well into your career, and you rent; you dont understand finance. So many bros i know rent while funneling money into their idiotic lifestyles.

If I wanted to be stuck in one spot and LDAR I would buy, but I like having mobility.

I have a 4 bedroom mid-sized home. I rented prior to owning. My wife and I are talking about separating and in the meantime I'm with mom stacking my chips to buy another home.

phuck renting again, srs.

I'd rent again if I was forced though.

Pros/Cons about renting brosef.

Not every single person in life has a goal of having the best financial/investments. Some are fine with throwing money away for convenience.

I rented in my mid-late twenties because:
-Moved to different cities often. Why would I buy a house in every different city I lived in? Very risky short-term investment if I re-sold every time I moved.
-Don't have to be bothered with upkeep and repairs.

Now, if you're going to be squating in the same hood for a minute and are stable, of course it makes sense if you have your finances and down payment squared up. However, you shouldn't stretch yourself thin and become house poor just for the sake of buying a house or to over-compromise and end up with a chit house that you're miserable in.

LOL at your friend. $600 payment on an A4 when you can get a 1 or 2 year old CPO A6 or A7 for less.

Renting is the same thing as throwing money away. Not sure why people don't just buy a house and split the cost

Recent evidence shows that renting actually is cheaper in the long run. Unless you plan on staying on one spot for a long time and raising a family, buying doesn't make much sense.

you realize that you can just sell your property again right? thats the whole point. You buy, you fix, you sell. as a first time buyer you can resell at any time and wont get slapped by capital gains.

I bought a house last year that I live in now. I'm going to rent it out later in the year for almost double my mortgage. this will allow me to live in an even nicer place. renting was super easy but if you're even half not stupid you can really make some money owning.

Because when you factor in mortgage, interest, property taxes, other expenses involved in ownership, etc., buying costs a lot of money in the long run.

Okay good luck buying your house and being stuck in the same spot for 20 years, I mean unless you can buy a house within a few years, you have no mobility so tell us how that goes for you. I'll rent until I'm ready to retire

I recently got a job offer with large salary bump in another state, starting in less than a month. Easy move when renting, not so much if I owned a home here. I like the flexibility of renting.

If you reinvest your money elsewhere, it's pretty close. The slight loss in long term equity is worth the freedom and reduction in risk when renting. A house is an investment. It's not the only investment you can make.

There is a lot of risk in owning a liability like a house. I suggest building up assets instead at your age.

This. You typically need 10-20% of the home's value up front for the deposit; it's not factored into the mortgage. And with student loan debt + chitty job market most people can't afford that so they have to rent.

Don;t know what it is but buying a property seems so final. No thanks jeff

imo real estate is one of the lowest risk to reward investments you can make. also that video is assuming you keep the same property, which is essentially just renting.

Assumes house market is the same everywhere based off his one isolated event in his isolated geographic area.

Buying a home CAN be a great investment and everything else. I will buy when I am ready to settle down and can get a house I truly want to live in for 10-15 years. Not gunna rush into a 350k investment. That's getting a decent home in a decent area where I live. You can get way cheaper of course if you wanna go to the ghetto or have a tiny ass house in a chitty location.

most people that rent cant afford to buy or they're young and not sure they want to commit to ownership
