How Many Of You Webmasters Own Or Rent Your Home?
 

Just wanted to get a concensus...

These days with the way low interest rates are and the very low downpayments necessary, how is it that anyone continues to rent?

Yes I am sure in places like LA and New York buying condos or apartments can be quite expensive but for the rest of the country for the most part, just about anyone should be able to get themselves into a house or condo.

So what's your story? Is it a financial situation? Is it a lifestyle choice? Are you just not ready to settle down with that kind of commitment?

DH

Everyone either rents or owns, no?

I just sold DH this:

i only rent my home for one reason..I dont see myself in this area for more than a few years.

Hehe that place has been up for sale for a while now, I was noticing it last summer when Magnus showed it to me...

Time to come in at a low ball offer and see if they bite :winkwink:

DH

Own my home, and mortgage free.

Why own or rent?

own my own home but not for long :glugglug

I own of course

LOL

I've got a lease option to buy deal but I don't know how long I am going to be in this house.

I move around to much to buy anything.
6 mo here 1 yr there kinda stuff.

I live with "Disposable" in mind.

I bought mine about 5 years ago and just refinanced last Nov.

2 bed/1 bath...$45,000

I love living where I do.

:thumbsup

Hehe what are you talking about, you could buy 3 of these houses with the amount of money you are making off Allinternal/Asstraffic. :)

DH

I own mine went with an Interest only loan, way cheaper then renting or a conventional loan :thumbsup

have been a homeowner since 1975

That's exactly what my point was man. You asked how many people rent or own. My answer was...everyone ;)

Though I didn't think about those living in their moms basement. Good call :thumbsup

Life just doesn't get any better than this.

Own my own condo. I am 23 now, and bought it when I was 18 actually.

Not sure of Canada but our values have moved up quite a bit to match the gain made with lower interest rates. I used to own an apt building and we lost tons of our best tenants to home ownership in the 2000-2002. I hear this has slowed down a bit.

I own my own home.

We have three of us here in 2500sq feet. I have a rather large office with two complete work stations set up, five bedrooms, a guest room, and a huge playroom. It's state law here in Arizona to have a pool, and mine has a waterfall. I can afford a much larger house, but we already have entire rooms that we never use.

I think instead of getting a larger house I'm gonna start buying other houses to rent out - investments. In a year or two apartments will cost more than my monthly mortgage so now is the time to buy.

i own a 1bd coop,

waiting for my book from carlton sheets on how to buy one no money down

I own an 8 foot dildo and I sleep in its shade.

The bank still owns most of my house.

I own my home :)

Both :glugglug
My apartment i own and i rent the studio we have today.
No pics of the apartment, but here is a link to some shitty pics of the studio :winkwink:

Just bought a 2 bedroom 3 bathroom 1500 sq ft townhouse in november, i'm loving it, you should come by next time your in vancouver DH we'll party it up.

Own my own home, built it in 99. Just refinanced with the lower interest rate. Saved a shit load of $$.

we rent;
my ladies in University taking Graphic arts and Digital design.
No point buying until we make a decision and move someplace
where we want to buy.
:thumbsup

I can't live in an apartment but I don't want to be tied down by a mortgage so I rent...

i hope intrest rates go up

own

I own since april 1st ... was renting before :P

Own... no sense in buying someone else a house.

mainly because i don't want to be stuck having to sell a house if i want to up and move somewhere.

:thumbsup

I was wondering about this myself. I have a chance to buy a two bedroom condo in a small town for less than $60,000 Canadian.

Charge $500 a month rent and this will cover the mortgage and taxes and still leave me with a profit, but not if I can't keep it filled.

Almost anyone can buy a house with just 5% down, and there are plenty around here for way less than $100,000.

So for renters I am either going to be looking at welfare cases, single mothers on mother's allowance, or people that can't hold down a job for whatever reason. That's if I can even keep it filled at all.

Once I am done school I will buy a home.

Or if I move back to Canada.

I rent for now but I hope to buy a place out in AZ in a year or two but for now cheap ass rent in Indiana is good enough for me

someday i hope to own it.

Own & hoping to buy more soon... :Graucho

rental properties.. etc..

I also rent ... as I move once every 3 or 4 years :1orglaugh

I get bored if i stay at the same place for a long time.

I rent for the same reason as others.. Im not staying here long enough to buy anything.

why?

that trailer is bad ass!
