    Is it a generally accepted truth that people who rent are shit?

    They are viewed as low lifes because they have not been able to achieve a financial position that allows them to have the means to buy property. Therefore property owners look down on renters and see them as second class citizens.

    Correct?

      Depends on the area.

      I rented until I had a reason to buy a house.

          It really depends on the market, like when I moved to Florida in 2005 at the top of the market it made poor financial sense to buy and renting was the smarter move.

          The house I lived in was valued at $550k at the time and 3 years later dropped to $275k and I spent a whole lot less than $175k on rent for those 3 years.

              Are you joking? There are a variety of reasons to rent that have nothing to do with being financially able to buy a house.

              Real estate could be over valued and/or declining in value in your area, in which case it's better to rent then buy.

              You could only plan on being in the area a short time (less then 5 years)

              The opportunity cost might not make sense

              There's some math you can do to determine whether it's best for you to rent or buy, but I'm not going into that here. Google is your friend.

                  I used to always rent before I bought this place. Moving places was great, 2 months notice and off to the next place.

                      The only people that are shit are the ones that trash the place and are always late to pay the rent.

                          Generally renters are scum. Even the ones in class A properties that rent for $1500+ for a 1 bedroom.

                          Places like NYC or San Francisco you have to rent if you want location because the property owners generally hold on until they die.

                          Other places if you fail to buy and you have over 40 years old you are pretty much a loser that failed in life.

                              I rent and have always rented. But now I am going to buy a house, withing a year. Just have to decide where. Prices in my area are very hight. A ok 2 bedroom flat goes for $400,000+ and a fairly new house $600,000 and up. As I said, I want a house, so it will cost. If I move I can get a good and brand new house for $500,000.... Just need to convince the wife

                                      Lets see..

                                      Renting, you get a receipt for the rental to show for it every month.
                                      Owning, you get a larger receipt for the mortgage every month.

                                          It really depends... in my experience, as a home owner as well as a renter.. renters who used to be home owners tend to be fantastic tenants. They tend to take care of the house, the yard, friendly with neighbors etc. But the ones who let their house go to shit, don't bring in their garbage cans or newspapers, don't socialize much.. those are the renters that give renters a bad name.

                                                  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.

                                                      bills aren't usually as bad for renting thats for sure... bought a house a few years back and between insurance, property taxes, electricity, water, repairs... that shit ads up in a hurry...

                                                      i miss renting!

                                                          The only plot i ever intend on buying is the one where they will they dig a six foot hole to drop my pine box.

                                                          I rent and yes, i've had landlords that think they are the dogs bollox. But they fail to remember that without the tenant they cant afford to pay their buy to let mortgage, fucking losers.

                                                              It's probably the best time ever to rent and invest your cash. Property value will sit stagnent for up to 10 year.

                                                              They used to you need to stay in property 3 years to make out on buying. That figure probably closer to 10 years now

Therefore property owners look down on renters and see them as second class citizens.

                                                                                          The way I see it, if buying was better off than renting by a large margin, then corporations would be buying up blocks of houses to resell. The two have to be kept close, or an opportunity arises in the market, and there's enough people who can recognize those as it's a profitable business, clearly.

                                                                                          I love renting because of many reasons, mostly that I can up and leave any time I want. I can always come back and rent again if needbe. I don't even want to be in a cellphone contract, let alone a 25 year+ house contract.

                                                                                          No emotional attachment, I feel no desire to upgrade, and fixing I don't pay for. If I had a house, I'd be constantly upgrading/fixing something.

                                                                                          Also I don't have variable gas/water/electricity bills here, I just pay my rent and those services are included.

                                                                                          Then there's just the financials. Most people end up paying 3x what the house costs, or more, by the time the loan is exhausted.

                                                                                          EVEN if you had the cash saved up, taxes paid on it, sitting in a bank... average home here even in the burbs is like $400k. At 5% interest, you'd be making ~$20k on the money. So to buy the house, you're giving up that $20k every year. A $1,500/mo apartment costs $18,000 a year to rent, so in that scenario you could pay your rent and make a small profit on your money, and keep your money saved/invested/diversified.

                                                                                          So if it makes dubious enough sense to buy a house even if you have all the money on hand, how can it make sense to borrow a huge amount of money over 20-40+ years? It just can't.

                                                                                          For the people who made a bunch of money in a few years with their house, they sold in a high market and had to buy somewhere else in a high market too. Unless they started renting or moved down in life, and who does that with a bunch of money in their pocket.

                                                                                          Perhaps the biggest.. My parents bought a small house in 1980 for $50k. It's now worth about $300k. So in 30 years its value increased by 600%. Is it going to be worth $1.8 million in 2,040? I highly doubt it. Which means we can expect diminishing returns by a large percentage as far as housing goes.. it's overpriced as it is.

                                                                                          You have to live somewhere, and everywhere costs money. I think the standard of living and freedom I get with renting works for me.

I thought the annual appreciation was unnatural and was told that if I did not buy then -- no money down, of course -- that I'd never be able to own.

                                                                                                                                  A lot of my friends fell for that line.

                                                                                                                                  They are in upside down mortgages.

                                                                                                                                  Meanwhile, I continued to move to wherever I felt like it every one or two years.

                                                                                                                                  Planning on moving to Florida early next year and can because I do not have a house I am upside down on.

                                                                                                                                  If being smart makes me scum but saves me $300k by not buying at the top of the market I will happily take the title. I'm glad not to have the burden of so many of my peers at 31.

                                                                                                                                  The rent I pay for the new house I live in -- one the developer still owns because he could not sell -- is less than all the neighbors pay for their mortgages.

Don't plan on staying in the city and you get ass raped on taxes in Spain when you buy and sell property. So if you don't plan to be in the same place for 10 years, it's actually cheaper to rent.

I was able to retire early in May of 2000 at the age of 49, and since late 2000 early 2001 every tangible of value I own has wheels,

                                                                                                                                                      I winter in Arizona, summer in Indiana, lease on both ends. My landlord(s) now take the place of my plumber, my electrician, my painter, my carpet cleaner, my roofer, my HVAC guy, ad infinitum ...

                                                                                                                                                      I decided then I never wanted to repair another dripping faucet, worry about a roof that needed replaced, cut another blade of grass, haggle over insurance premiums, and on and on and on.

                                                                                                                                                      Ownership is great and makes perfect sense for many reasons for 2/3rds of your life. You know, while raising a family and building future financial stability. There comes a time though when ownership isn't any fun anymore. The 'prestige' of ownership devalues immensely. And yes, being a 'freeagent' is financially costly in many ways. So be it.

                                                                                                                                                      @Quence - Seeing "viewed as low lifes" makes me think you haven't been on planet Earth long enough to have a realistically formed opinion.

I mean it depends on what country do you live... but it's probably like that in most places around the world.. people treat you by your wallet size. When you are rich they all love you... when you are poor they don't know you.

After 10+ yrs of renting I totally understand the 'handyman+scotch' approach to finer living.

I will never know. One place I lived, the handyman came fixed a light switch. The guy responded quickly, was neat,had a big smile on his face and I gave him 20 bucks. The next time I called about a sink leaking, it probably a small gasket. I left a 20 taped to the wall next to the sink. When I came home from work, they replaced the whole sink for me. lol

                                                                                                                                                                                                      When I bought my place last year I made sure it was somewhere that I want to be for at least 10 yrs.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Also depends on family situation. If your young and married and planning to have kids it better to pick a good school district area and buy.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      I'm also in a situation where my son in college and my daughter is in 11th grade. I have 2 years left and plan to move so its stupid to buy. Evn if I bought where I want to move in 2 years it makes no sense cause i may pay less 2 years from now lol
