Comment on Owning Your Own Home Is Even More Stupid Than Running Your Own Servers

Not buying it. I’m on the backend. My house is paid off in 18 months. Even with my average 5-7k per year of maintenance I’m paying a lot less than a crappy two bedroom rental in my top20 metro area on the US and my property is already worth triple+ my initial cost for a reasonable 1800 sq ft plus basement. I did get a place that was waaaay less than banks wanted to qualify me for because I understand the cost of maintenance. A pool would be an albatross around my neck for instance - never would buy a place with one bc of the maintenance.
