re: Is it better to rent or buy a house

You could've owned a house for free?

Getting at least some of his money that he put into the house is a huge plus over renting and getting nothing back.

I pay $1500 a month for the house I rent. $1500 should get me a lot more house than what I've got. If I live there for 50 years I will still be paying rent and that rent would likely go up a ton over that time. That's why people consider it an investment. If I knew I'd be in the same city 5 years from now I'd much rather be buying.

I wasted 800 bucks a month for two years renting. That's a shite ton of money that could have been invested. Renting is retarded as frick and for naive broke boi's.

You mean you had to pay to have a roof over your head?
