renting is never "better" than owning, the idea is that what you can do with the extra money from renting cheap.....IE invest it in better vehicles.....your in the mortgage industry you know that there are other investments right? What the hell is so hard to understand. Yes having a tangible asset is better than not, I'm not saying rent forever....rent until you can buy a house in cash. Rent so you can put that money to better work than a house....damn you dense sometimes
217k to 550k is a 333k profit in ~14 years....it took your mom ~14 years to see a 153% return.....could have made more somewhere else....its 11% per year return. And NYC is a GREAT market.....so that 11% is no where near most areas. Get IT?
I know you wont care about the following: I am up 169% on one stock THIS YEAR, that 4 months. Any "smart individual" would ask you to look up the term opportunity cost.

I dont really see a 40 yr mortgage equaling financial freedom ESPECIALLY to someone young (which most of us are). Like I said in my earlier post it is a situation by situation thing.Originally Posted by Supermanblue79
Ownership over renting IMO.
Financial Freedom is the real return on your investment, not what the housing market says that your property is worth.

How old are you btw? I just dont see how it makes any sense for anyone who is not ready to settle down to own a home. Especially with how many ways their are to make money in America I just dont see owning a home as being that great of an investment for a young person. It really limits your options in life and there are so many things that can happen when owning a home that you are liable for it should really only be reserved for those who are 100% ready for that leap (which it is a leap not a step).Originally Posted by UnbornSeed
I think most of us are on 30 yr mortgages. I pay mine as if it was a 15 yr when I can. Make 169% on penny stocks all you want. I'll take the long term appreciation and make sure my kids are taken care.
