Showing bias again bud.

Pity you don't see the scum side of tenants, just focus on the "greedy" side of landlords.

for a start im not your bud and after 35 years in the building game i have seen plenty of scum tenants, seeing as you seem to have a bias against tenants perhaps you need a change of career

And I used 3kg line for that one!

You do have to admit. You seem to take every opportunity to run landlords down. If you see my history of postings here you would see where my bias lies.

Well it totally depends upon your budget. It you are able to pay lump slum amount then buying a home is good option. But if your budget does not allow you then renting is a a better option. For any thing you could sale out, first you have to invest in it.

Renting make sense only when there is no enough fund to support buying a home. Because of low interest rates and home prices that have risen more slowly than rents, buying is now cheaper than renting.

Does Renting Make Sense?

Yes it does make sense when you can't afford to buy your own house. While you are renting you should also be saving as much as you can so that later down the track you can buy a house. Renting pays off to the landlord but leaves you with no asset in the end.

Makes better sense to stay at home with Mummy and save. Keep your legs crossed so that there is no little one involved. Don't buy a pet so that your chances of renting (should you need to) are increased. Keep out of jail. Stay in school when you are young.

A lot of things assist with home purchases. Not just accommodation. It is never "just" renting. Never "just" saving. It is way too complicated for one "simple" solution.
