MIKE SMITH" data-source="post: 4391022" data-attributes="member: 44552"><p>Renting always sucks- I will be 70 on my next BD- I got married and we moved into an apartment when I was 19. We were there 6 months and bought a house. I rented a year after my divorce and bought a house that needed work - cleaned it up some and then a bought a bigger one that was dated and worked it over and sold the other one I had for a profit- lived in bigger one for a few years and found one in the county on 7 acres that needed work- bought it and rehabed it and finally moved back to town in a 1500 sq ft place with a small yard. I have owned a dozen places over the years and only rented about 2 years in the last 50. Every home I ever owned, I made money on. When you rent, you only get your deposit back if you're lucky. Keep your credit good and you can buy a home with no money down if you work with a realtor who knows how to get a seller to pay your closing cost. It's the best way to go and no landlord to deal with.</p></blockquote><p></p>
