My mortgage is due on the 5th.

All the same ****.

I'm getting a slightly better financial deal than the renter, the renter has the better lifestyle deal when factoring maintenance and freedom to up and move.

brb sign a year lease and the rent doesn't go up lmfao

Dork friend of a friend said "dude bro you should really buy a home, it's so much cheaper... what do you pay for rent?"

I told him my rent and it turns out he pays $500 more just for his mortgage on a POS house that he's constantly paying out of pocket to fix.

Always pay rent for the month ahead a few weeks before the 1st.

Saving for a house, rent is measly 600/month
Think too many people romanticize either direction. Yes, no $$ I have is going to principle however the money I save on taxes, lower housing payment, lack of repairs or upgrades etc can be invested into funds which will appreciate 5-10% per year....

I think theres pros and cons in either direction. Best part of owning a home, the one I wish I had, is ability to invest time and energy into improving something that is yours...

That was only one anecdotal experience anyway. My mortgage + escrow is cheaper than a very large percentage of apartments around here. Also, what happens once that one year lease is up?

The piece of the equation that most people fail to miss with this perspective is that typically its the renter that is paying off the landlord's note + cashflow (if property is not paid off)
As a landlord, i try to ensure none of my properties are "paid off". When they are, I do a cash out refi or find some other form of leverage in order create more opportunity.

Lol just imagine renting...

Son, your rent is going to go up 17% this year, and you better have it on time or ill keep your security deposit and evict you... oh and by the way, don't spill chit on my carpet, that's an upcharge. Thank you for paying for my building while i depreciate the value, cashflow the purchase, and never pay a bit of tax for the next 27.5 years thanks to depreciation.

Good job ignoring how much you spent to buy that house, money you could have invested in the stock market.

U mad I only pay $350 per month for this with dividends from money I invested in the stock market?

Ok but what do the prospective tenants need to do to get their rental application to the top of the pile?

BRB stuck in one place and a lot of things can happen that would want to make you move,

More expensive than renting, can invest the difference in stocks,

Property taxes,

School Taxes,

Repairs,

The "more expensive" thing often times isn't true (unless you're renting with roomates, in the ghetto, or renting a closet like the guy a few posts above), and when you factor in that you're building equity in an asset that typically appreciates...

You don't think landlords factor property taxes and all of that into the amount they charge for rent? "Muh stocks", another rentcel trying to pretend to be a financial guru.

I'm glad I'm no longer renting. Paying a mortgage on a house and living in said house is 10000% better dead fkn srs.

If you're renting and have never owned a house you don't get to have an opinion. Keep on smoking that copium cawk and throwing money at your landlord with 0 return every month.
