I’m amused by homeowners who attach some stigma to renters. I own real estate (among stocks and savings – w/little debt)commercial lot, 5 acres, a lot in Julian and a lot in Utah, and a condo on the East Coast – free and clear. I also owned 2 houses in the past, which I’ve sold. Now I rent.
Renting can be a choice. Renting makes sense when it’s considerably less than what a bubblicious mortgage would cost monthly. Though I want to buy a house again, I must say renting is liberating.
Seems from some posts there are more homeowners bitter about the falling market than some renters were when prices were increasing.
