"ownership":
>20-30 years of debt slavery to a bank
>bound to this country, town and property for life
>inflexible, unable to leave or pursue opportunity else where
>gotta maintain that house, repair it, look after it and carry all the responsibility
>house can be taken away under certain circumstances

renting:
>lightning-fast mobility and flexibility
>leace whenever you want, where ever you want to pursue opportunity elsewhere
>complete freedom, not being indebted to anyone
>dont have to pay property taxes, maintain the house, worry about repairs and other bs
>it can never be taken away

Its not the 60, 70, 82, anymore and you are not a boomer. Times have changed. Things have changed. Its the most adaptable that survive. Paying mortage, being a debtslave, binding yourself to one location to own a house is an outdated model. It worked 30 years ago, but the world has changed. Today flexibility, mobility and freedom are key.

I can be renting a place and go anywhere, anytime and not being burdened down by shackles of debt, taxes, and being bound to one location. If I dont like it, I just leave. If I feel like changing scenery, I go somewhere else. If a war breaks out, my bags are packed within 30 minutes. If another scamdemic happens and government/society bully me into having a vaccine, I can just leave for another country. If the economy goes tits up I can leave at a whim and go pursue opportunity else where in the world.

No. Learn to opportunity cost. At current interest rates you'll have paid 77%/23% interest/principal after a decade, even with 3% rates you're still paying over 50% interest in the first decade. Fuck off with your "pissing away money" on rent, you're pissing away money on a mortgage too, and rent doesn't require a $50-100k down payment, which when properly invested easily makes up what you've "lost" (formally known as Gained) by not staking your capital in the boomerbox shitcoin

Most the time yes. Traditionally owning lets you essentially pay yourself while also being cheaper than renting. Nowadays that isn't always the case.

I bought in summer 2020 at 3% fixed. I only put down 5%, I could have done around 15% but I decided to spend that money on renovations and upgrades around the house instead. Nobody was buying in the height of the pandemic so one of my requests was for the seller to pay all my closing costs and they agreed to it. I only had to spend a few hundred on closing costs for stuff that legally could not be paid by the seller. Before I bought I was living in a 2 bedroom 1000 sq ft apartment nearby and even then, before the brrr-induced inflation, my rent was about 10% above my mortgage.

I'm not encouraging anyone to buy right now, I've just been pointing out how "rent is cheaper than mortgage" isn't true. I haven't even owned for 3 years yet and my mortgage is already drastically cheaper than local rent so it's not like I'm using a mortgage that originated in 1998 as the comparison with rent. Personally if I was looking to buy I'd wait another year or two. Rates will go down and if the economy takes a massive shit like I think it will it's a buyer's market again.

Its about yield and leverage.

Assuming house is fully paid off, you have how much locked up; 500K?

Whats a reasonable yield? 8%? So that money should get you 40k/year. Is your rent 40k/year?

Theres also leverage; govt. subsidized loans. Getting that lets you 'invest' someone elses moneym which is a steal. Unless the market bottom drops out then you can rope.

This line of thinking is only true if you plan to be working in a big city, maybe also job hopping and renting in different places.
For someone like me who works remote, buying a rural house makes much more sense than renting a rural house.
I am still against mortgages as well. The ideal for me is living with your parents until you have enough money to build a house or buy one in cash. But mortgage beats renting for the simple reason that you have a roof over your head when you retire.

Home ownership is a lifestyle choice where you sacrifice your freedom of movement to gain freedom over your domicile. If you're young, early in your career, and have many prospects that could take you across the globe, home ownership is a less attractive option than renting. If you're old, set in a location, and have a steady job that you'll likely do forever, owning a home is the better option.

Want to know the difference? When I want to move out, I can sell my house and at worst break even. The process may take a month but "oh no, a whole month... whatever will I do"

Meanwhile you break your lease and are literally fucked out of thousands of dollars. I don't want to hear about your own personal story about how "blah blah I broke my lease and didn't have to pay blah blah"

Fact of the matter is in the vast majority of apartments, if you break your lease you have to make a bulk payment to cover all of the months left on the lease. You literally enter into one of the DUMBEST contracts by signing a lease.

Based. I used to hate HOAs but then I realized how much worse it is to have shit neighbors. They’re basically an insurance policy against a terrible neighbor making everyone’s lives hell

well sooner or later you die--you come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing. Sure you can pass on wealth to kids/etc but they'll just take the money and buy drugs and prostitutes and say mean stuff about you and piss on your grave.

Only for raising kids, if you’re a single young man it’s a mistake. Especially if you take a mortgage. It feels great you can just up and leave the city anytime you want to, you never know what opportunities or troubles will come your way. A family and home are burdens to your freedom that you will have to take someday but if you’re not ready to settle down you’re restricting yourself needlessly. Maybe your parents are advising you to get one but they lived in different times.

homes are absolute money pits, what makes them valuable are mortgages with suppressed rates
it used to be that if you bought a new home, you could at least bank on 10-20 years of minimal maintenance
but now, homes are made so poorly you'll probably have a major repair in half that time

Nonsense. HOAs can be a pain but their entire goal is to keep the development from turning to shit and maintain property values.

It's a leveraged long on the price of housing, versus renting where you're just buying housing to consoom. So, home ownership is objectively better when it is wise to long the price of housing, and objectively worse in times where the price of housing is stable or decreasing.

9 out of 10 people are better off buying than renting in most cases because they have no self control. So its better they park it in a hard asset that isn't easily liquidated.

Literally "not an argument", if fact supports the position that buying is sub-optimal in most situations as a retard-crowded trade is not a trade you want to be in. The simple reality is that RE is a shit investment and has COMICALLY underperformed the market (to say nothing of crypto) for all meaningful time periods. Property is something to buy after you've made it, like a Lambo, locking your capitol in the boomerbox shitcoin in this market is a nigh guaranteed express lane to NGMI land

The only moral form of renting is slumlording. Cram enough poor people and illegal immigrants into a decaying house, and it becomes both affordable and profitable.

or a suburb or outside city limits because zoning laws will eventually screw your ass anyway living so far away from everything, it's not worth it. live in a nice estate community near a main highway that's close to a police department, school, walmart, hospital you get the picture. a house like that will only increase in value
