Okay, guess I was confused. I feel eleven years younger already.
Taxes– Renters don’t have to pay the taxes you do in the first place. I’ll bet your tax savings for your new place don’t cover your property tax outlay. Paying taxes to save taxes doesn’t seem so great to me.
Options– Let’s see, I’ve painted my place, put up pictures, planted some plants. Oh, and my landlord think it looks great and, of course, doesn’t want me to leave.
Rentals I bought 11 years ago– Yes, I wish I had one. What’s that got to do with what you or I choose today?
Renting works for me because I let it. It sounds like it will never work for you. And that’s fine and fair. Just don’t kid yourself that your choice makes sound economic sense today.
