In some cases you are just paying another homeowners mortgage and not getting any equity out of it. You also dont get the write offs a homeowner gets but renting does have its advantages as well. Whatever works best for a persons particular situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuke'em ttg Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 yep. i look at housing as an expense. so whether i rent or own, im paying. its not an investment imo. a famous cementman once told me that renting was the same as going to the window and throwing your money out.....i understand your expense deal but havin a home paid off in the end is far better isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along the same lines: The landlord's here to visitThey're blasting disco down below Sez, "i'm doubling up the rent Cos the building's condemned You're gonna help me buy city hall" But we can, you know we can But we can, you know we can Let's lynch the landlord man I tell them 'turn on the water' I tell 'em 'turn on the heat' Tells me 'all you ever do is complain' Then they search the place when I'm not here But we can, you know we can Let's lynch the landlord Let's lynch the landlord Let's lynch the landlord man There's rats chewin' up the kitchen Roaches up to my knees Turn the oven on, it smells like dachau, yeah Til the rain pours thru the ceiling But we can, you know we can Let's lynch the landlord man I loves me some Dead Kennedys.
