In the UT Business section today, they are saying 1st time buyers are coming back in large percentages from before due to easier lending terms from fha/fannie/freddie…
Also, as these mid to late 20 somethings hit 30s-40s, there is huge pressure to settle down, get married, have kids. From the article, these is also talk of worst neighbors, constantly raised rents, roommates, etc…
Bottom line I took and my own view is that for a married couple, family…renting an apartment generally sucks and as we get older, having to deal with renting just sucks (for me). I “get” the single guys here loving renting and all that and can defend it all day, but I feel for most families with or without kids, renting is just ghetto.
I’d known “Asian” people (again) who looks down on renters or feel it’s pathetic that you can get knocked up with a kid, but can’t even afford to buy a house…(it’s viewed shamefully).
