ParticipantAbsolutely. Nothing quite like hanging that first picture and going “ah, this is my freaking wall, I can make all the holes I want and not have to worry about my deposit.”
It cuts both ways though, such as the moments when the roof leaks, the water heater pisses all over the garage floor, the drain backs up, etc.
Still totally worth it, IMHO.

ParticipantIt’s not that it is different to live in a house that you buy, but that buyer’s are different from renters. They get more sex for one thing.

ParticipantYou do feel more freedom to make changes and invest in the house.
You also feel a bigger burden… I remember that feeling of “what have I done” when I signed my first mortgage paper. That faded after successfully making the first couple of payments.
It’s a mixed bag. I’ve only rented for 18 months of the past 16 years. But I definitely felt a lot more freedom to customize an owned house to my needs. Little stuff like putting in custom shelves in the pots/pans cupboard…
