[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]PP how would they even know your current home is a rental?[/b] I'm confused.

This weekend I've been thinking about the possibility of a coop or condo after realizing I'm priced out of SFHs in the kinds of locations I like, and wonder how that compares to renting. Will I be disappointed if my first "house purchase" is the same size as my current apartment, with no extra bathroom or basement for kids to play in while adults chat? When we talk about renting vs owning how much of it is the finances and sense of permanence, and how much of it is just imagining family life as about some minimum amount of space, as most rentals are smaller than SFHs?

DP. I don't get it either. All anybody knows is: you used to live over there, and now you live over here.

Other PP - There are single-family-detached and attached houses for rent, in addition to apartments for rent. There are also condos for buying - including condos that are larger than single-family-detached or attached houses.[/quote]

I have no doubt some of the more curious mothers wanted to know WHY we would move from a much larger house that we fully renovated to exactly the way we wanted it, to a house more than half the size smaller than our old one & its easy to find out it's a rental (I guess it's only natural to wonder something like that).

If they looked up my new address on Zillow (and I don't put it past them to check) towards the bottom of the page, they can see the pricing history.  That will show them all of the dates/amounts this house was listed for prior to us renting it & it will also show the date/amount we paid when we started renting it.[/quote]
