I have owned multiple homes and also have owned apartment buildings and was a landlord..
I actually prefer renting now.. if I do not like where I am, I can just leave... Trust me, there is nothing worse than being stuck in a house in a bad market and not being able to sell it..
And being a landlord was the worst idea i ever had.. all of the laws are on the tenants side..
You could buy a home in an upscale private gated community that is awesome today, and then 7-8 years later the community goes to shit... now your property value goes down, and your stuck with it.. I know back in the day, owning your own home was considered the way to go as far as an investment, but I have since changed my outlook on that.
if i own any property in the future, it will most likely be vacation rentals.. as the laws would be on my side because landlord/tenant laws would not apply.. and even if I did invest that way, I would probably still be a renter.
