I much prefer renting. Will I buy a house in the future? Probably, but it will be a much smarter purchase the second time around!! We kind of got the shaft when we bought our house… ---

> [@whitey](#): > > on friday, i will be a homeowner and a landlord… I like renters! Beware the landlord thing. If you can get someone in there that you know or trust, do it. I had an absolute fucking NIGHTMARE with my last renters. I wouldn’t wish these pieces of shit that I had renting off me on my worst enemy. But renting is nice because it pays the mortgage :bigthumb: ---
