If you need someone to drive your Saab to the new house for you, give me a call.

....and no tax deductions, no equity, etc.

Makes sense if you're not prepared to stay someplace at least 2 years, but otherwise I cant envision flushing rent down a toilet.

im not prepared to stay 2 years... i had it bred into me that rent is flushing money down the toilet but it has its purpose

Condos?

Is that what self proclaimed millionairs and ex players own?

Tell me do you really own it if you dont pay property tax on it?

Or would that qualify as a RENTER?

where did i ever say i had millions?

real estate that you live in is not an investment, its like a savings account that grows a little faster than the rate of inflation unless you live in a hot market... if you can sell it then you own it

I am not moving again for a long fucking time, hopefully next time we move will be into the wood in a nice log cabin that we had specially built just for us

somewhere in the north Georgia woods would be nice...possibly Tennessee somewhere

Sorry if that seemed to be directed toward you it wasnt.

I agree with the real estate investment.

I moved a couple of months ago and I think I'm only just recovering. I sold most of my furniture (a 12 foot Ryder truck full) to a friend and when my day came to move it took them 45 minutes to have all my stuff loaded and out the door...

I bought a condo and I'm happy with it. No yard, no hassles. I don't mind the smaller space one bit either.
