Personally that article does nothing for my situation. My house is worth 40% more than I paid for it because I basically stole it since the market is so horrible here right now and the house was vacant for over half a year when I got it. Also my property taxes for the entire year are about 1.5 months rent at my old apartment. Not to mention my loan payment is less than I was paying in rent and I made the sellers throw in a home owners warranty for 3 years so I don’t have many maintenance costs except when the wife wants to change the landscaping and such. I guess I could see his idea working but it would have to depend on each persons situation.
