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

    No it isn't property renters are looking for guys to have a new revenue stream. I rent flats due it's better than buying one. Cheaper. Also i am able to move on if i wish without renting it out.

            God damn, what an idiot you are.

            Renting for 20 years = money pissed down the drain.
            Paying mortgage for 20 years = end up owning the house.

                Depends on your area but in general renting is a waste of money... I own several and get the mortgage deductions

                    my worst fear: getting a great place then a year later some underprivileged minority who made bank in some 'entertainment area' moves in with 5 pit bulls and and an entourage of 15 loud mouthy assholes that play loud crappy music and a 'yo and argue all night'

                    happened to my brother.... some underprivileged immigrants got a house next to him, put fucking chickens in the back yard and now underprivileged 'young men with violent tendencies, that have been alienated by society' drink beer in the yard all night and and fuck the neighbors daughter in the parked cars...

At first it was mostly because I knew if i bought, i wouldn't be able to get out of town as easily and i didn't want to get stuck there. now banks are up everyone's ass and its way harder to get a mortgage then it was a few years ago.
                        it's very easy to prove your income... tax return and photoshop and printer

                            I bought house in 1990 for 300k. I put 100k into. I sold house in 1998 for 330k. WERE IN SAME PERIOD NOW.

                            If you bought mutual fund in 1990 and sold it in 1998. Here is fidelity magellan. Its know as 1 of the best funds.

                            In 1990 FMAGX was $13. In 1998 $53. Let me do some math for you. I put 20% down on that house so lets use figure of 70k.

                            My $70,000 I put down on House I could have bought magellan and in 1998 it would have been worth $286,000

                            Real estate market is in same down turn. So Im saying history says DONT BUY INVEST NOW.
                            shoulda, woulda, coulda...

                            this is 2010. you tell me where to invest my money to get 300% return in 7 years. it's all connected to risk. the more risk you take the more you make and the more you can lose. so expecting to gain that much in such a short period means you can affor to lose your 90k. do you? I am guessing not. therefore, do not tell me what you would be better off 20 years in the past. for 100 happy investing stories there's 100 unhappy ones.

                            I started throwing money into the funds when the crisis hit bottom. and I didn't expose myself. I made just enough to cover the losses and gain some.

                            and right now I'd be thrilled with about 8% annual return.

                            300%? well time to invest in shrilanka (this year alnoe they had 70%+ gains) or some other country I sure wouldn't stuck all my savings into. so...

                                maybe that's how it works in the states. monthly loan payments sure are much fucking bigger here than monthly rent costs. so your math doesn't work that way or is at least outdated.

                                    ha, would this really work...i mean im sure banks do a bit of research before lending someone 300k.
                                    you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
