[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We rent, by choice. [b]We have great landlords, have been in the same place for 10 years, love our community. Our housing is a fixed cost and we save a ton [/b]of money every month - way over any equity, appreciation, or deductions we would be getting by buying. We plan to pay cash for a house in retirement, but not here. I work in finance-related field and often have people asking me why we've chosen this route - I have found that no one really ever runs the actual numbers to see what makes sense. There's all kinds of kool-aid out there, and you most likely are drinking a lot of it if you are puzzled about why someone with means would choose to rent. [/quote] This is not a normal situation for a renter. In fact, having your rent not go up for 10 years is a VERY UNUSUAL situation. Many renters end up moving out of places they love because they can't afford the rent anymore. [/quote] Not pp, but we rent a SFH and our rent has been unchanged in the 7 years we've been in the home. I would not rent from a homeowner who raised the rent every year. I'm paying down your mortgage and you have a stable long-term renter. Don't rock the boat being greedy. [/quote]
