5 Reasons Renting Still Beats Buying

[NotCranky]

Peter and DavelJ make good points. Even when real estate is unequivicobly a good investment compared to renting, this stuff will be in the MSM. It is just the opposite of stupid RE shilling. I thought the article was so bad that I looked for an ulterior motive. Maybe it is just a coincidence that Mr Hough has a book out called, ” Your Next Great stock: How to Screen the Market for Tomorrow’s Top Performers”.

This article looks more like competition over where the money will go and through whom. With real estate and stocks apparently getting cheaper in lockstep, we will probably see a lot of this jockeying for position.Maybe it is just bias. Much to be taken with a grain of salt.

But are stocks really that great? Over the last forty years it’s been a bit of a bumpy ride. Some now say, over the very long term then it pays off, but not for the average investing life span.

Well, at least you can live in a house. Stocks make lousy homes. Also, if you could actually pay-off the house….what’s the value of not paying rent or mortgage to live somewhere as your income reduces in later life?
But taxes and “fees” are rising as is unemployment and foreclosures. The game is still in very early innings yet. Gaurd your cash and watch the show. I have a feeling the last half of 2009 is going to have some great fireworks.
