@slowmotionmeech: Hot take: Renting is actually better than buying. 🤫👇 Before you come for me in the comments, let’s talk about the reality of homeownership that the “gurus” love to skip over. 1️⃣ Peace of mind has a price tag. When you rent, your rent is the maximum you pay every month. When you own, your mortgage is the minimum. No surprise $10k roof repairs, no plumbing disasters on a Sunday, and zero underlying maintenance costs. 2️⃣ The “Cash Flow” Illusion. People love to say, “Buy a house and rent it out for cash flow!” But why would you sign up for hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt just to make a measly $300 to $400 a month in profit? One major repair or one month of vacancy, and your entire year of cash flow is completely wiped out. Homeownership isn’t the automatic golden ticket to wealth anymore. Sometimes, the flexibility and freedom of renting is the smarter financial move. Where do you stand? Are you Team Rent or Team Own? Let’s talk in the comments! 💬

I want my house paid off when I retire in the future renting never ends. But I understand your points too.

I’m a housing attorney. PLEASE get your own home. These landlords will take your RENT for YEARS!! And then decide you gotta go, tell you what you can and can’t do with THEIR property and walk in and out whenever they feel like it. If you’re young I get it, and if you don’t know where you want to settle down I get it. 🤷🏽♀️

Also, even owning a home isn’t really yours if we’re being honest

The cost of those repairs counters the rent vs mortgage payment. So that's a wash already. But you did say Personal Opinion, so respect.

Nobody will EVER make me believe that paying someone else’s mortgage is better than me paying my own. But that’s just my opinion. I’ll always be an owner🤷🏾♀️

As a homeowner and former renter, I agree with this sentiment depending on the individual goals and age.

If you live in a flood zone, you’ll need to have your own insurance as well as renters insurance. What’s the difference , you’re still paying.

That’s why it’s important to buy a property with an investor mindset.

As of lately I’ve been seeing where the leases require the tenant to cover maintenance repairs and more.

I bought my house 24 years ago. A friend who had just got his Real Estate license used me to make his first sale. Best decision of my life.

I think the key is to get in at the right time. We purchased when prices and interest rates were low, 10 years in our equity has doubled. Also, what we pay for our mortgage is less than what most people pay for rent, that includes property taxes and insurance.
