RENT

upyerbum - 3-31-2006 at 12:18 PM

hehe. I rent from the bank. Once you take the plunge it gets easier. All those zeroes really get the heart pumpin' though. I just got sick of giving my money to asshole landlords.

XHonusWagnerX - 3-31-2006 at 12:22 PM

Kind of both. I live in a house that is in my dads name, but we both own. So I pay him 'rent' but its just going to a mortgage.

RomanticViolence - 3-31-2006 at 12:26 PM

own

CR83 - 3-31-2006 at 12:30 PM

Own. No better way to go about it. Yeah it can be pricey but it really is the best option to go with.

clevohardcore - 3-31-2006 at 12:44 PM

OWN but I want to sell. Anyone interested?

Voodoobillyman - 3-31-2006 at 01:34 PM

own, it rules when it rules. but sucks when it sucks. I just keep telling myself it's an investment.

I assume he means he "Owns" a house, but not really because he has a mortgage. In reality almost no one "Owns" a home, they all 'rent from the bank'. Plus even if you do pay off a mortgage you still have to pay all the insane unjustified taxes that go along with the home. It NEVER ENDS!

JawnDiablo - 3-31-2006 at 05:31 PM

own, rules but now I want to move back to nyc and think I may have to become a slumlord

Done deal.

BDx13 - 4-4-2006 at 11:18 PM

We've joined the ranks of homeowners.
In two weeks, we looked at 150 places online, then 20 in person.
Made an offer last Friday and spent the weekend negotiating.
Got the executed contract today; we move in late June.
Fuck an a'!

defstarsteve - 4-4-2006 at 11:20 PM

awesome
I hope you got a good intrest rate

joemaconmovies - 4-4-2006 at 11:56 PM

i live at home right now, rent free. plan to stay that way until i move out and at that point i'll hopefully be buying, not renting. yah. that's my plan at this point in time.

BDx13 - 4-5-2006 at 12:45 AM

interest rates went up a fair amount last week, which kind of sucks, but settlement is a ways off, so we can always request a reduction if they dip back down between now and then.
