Current Events > Renting an apartment for life

(+) Yeah! (+)

Anyone else planning on renting an apartment for the rest of their lives?

I don't plan on getting a house. EVER. I plan on living in apartments pretty much till the day I die.

Sometimes I just burn my paychecks, same thing basically.

True, except you have a roof over your head :)

houses are overrated, apartments are where it's at

renting for life though is sad but it's the shit world we live in

In most situations you're paying the mortgage until you're dead anyways.

I rent by choice though. I like the place I live in, and plan to at least stay there for the next 10-15 years. It's just me though and will stay that way too. It's cheap and easy :)

Why do you people think like this? Are you Californians with Stockholm Syndrome that think that every state has 1 bed 1 baths for $400k?

You'll understand when you're older

I've only rented for 2.5 months of my life. I ended up buying the place from my landlord.

I don't think I will considering I'm buying a house next year. Are you poor or something? I'm guessing you're a NEET and are angry you can't buy a house with mommy's good boy points.

Yeah, you're definitely like 15.

I'm not poor and I never want to buy a house in my life. I personally will stick with renting probably forever.
---

i can't say for sure if i'll end up staying at this apartment permanently. still looking for buyer and i'm not sure it's going to sell quickly (a few bites but not anyone solidly interested).even then i will have a few months before they kick everyone out.

i try to be a good tenant for landlord with paying my rent on time.

A house is an investment. I also hope to have a family one day and that would be a positive asset. So I'd rather put that money into a house than an apartment. At least that way there is still something when i'm gone.
---

The only hard part about buying a house is saving for the down payment. Other than that the mortgage is cheaper than rent for 1 bedroom apartments where I live.

That is true

The difference with me is that I dont plan on a family, itll just be me and my dog. I dont need a lot of space and dont want to break the bank. Rent is like 700 bucks for a 2 bedroom place here its small enough to my liking tbh

You can't go wrong with real estate if you can afford the payments. It's always an appreciating investment.

I "own" my house and the building where I run my laser tag facility. I say "own" because I am making mortgage payments for both.

I am about to move to another job in another state. Instead of selling, I am renting out my house (for double the mortgage cost btw) and will either sell my business or close it down and lease out the space. This way both buildings are paid for by tenants and help me pay off the mortgages. Once they are paid off, I can sell them and become $250k richer all at once.

I just got my first apartment. I want to stay here for about two years, and then move into my house.
