Well…maybe a wife that is pissed off that we are still toughing out this cramped little apartment! Maybe I should think about buying just to avoid that.
In 2005, when we were looking for a rental to "wait out the correction", my wife said: "since renting is just a temporary situation, why don't we rent an apartment".
I went out & rent a 4 bed room SFH. That's because I knew that the "temporary situation" would be long enough that we would be uncomfortable in an apartment. Of course, the SFH costs me more, but it saves me money in the long run because I can wait longer for the market to drop.
Kyle, I'm not trying to be harsh on you. But I think you made a mistake in renting a small place. And buying right now is another mistake. It's better to bite the bullet & rent a nice house in your area for another 2 years.
