    It’s cool right up to the day something breaks and you realize that you are the landlord now.

      My landlord will fix any problem I point out to him, as long as I am willing to wait somewhere between 2 weeks and however long I hold the lease.

      Then you pay for it and still come out ahead.

      It have a home maintenance plan for more predictable cost and renting like experience, and coming less ahead than renting, but still somewhat ahead.

        Yep, factor in that most of your mortgage is in actuality payed to yourself. You actually pay a couple hundred dollars per month to your bank instead of over a thousand to your landlord.

          This is financial double speak.

          most of your mortgage is in actuality payed to yourself.

          That’s one way of looking at it, not usually the accurate way, but it is a way.
