Imagine thinking this is an actual rebuttal. They can't afford buy this house whether or not she owns it. If they could, they'd buy it or one like it. They can afford to lease it because apparently rent there is lower than mortgage, I've lived in places like that, 10,000 a month to buy over 22 years but 1300 a month rent. You nitwits want to blame people doing ok for themselves when maybe look in the mirror.
Buying the house would be a lot cheaper if landlord weren't hoarding properties, then you might have a 1300 a month mortgage instead of a 1300 a month rent
All y'all need to sit down with a mortgage calculator, a rent index, and do this in a few cities. None of you seem to have an idea what's really happening all over, which does admittedly vary. Rent being less than the mortgage is a very, very common thing, even now.
Rent payments are not less than a mortgage payment, that's the problem. Normal people are struggling to reach the 20% down payment in this economy. Otherwise they would buy. Just because you personally found something with rent lower than a 20-year mortgage doesn't mean other people can.
Not everything worldwide is exactly how it is where you are dude.
You just wrote that rents are less than mortgages because you personally had a rent less than a mortgage. You're the one who needs to read that.
It's often the case, fucking keep up.
