@JonFlynnREstats This take is so bad. You don’t give the bank anything. Your rent will keep going up but your mortgage payments don’t, and the amount going to principle increases every month. The 30 year fixed-rate mortgage is the greatest wealth building tool in the world. Smh.

@AllieWag @JonFlynnREstats How much has the value of the home you rent gone up? That’s net worth you’re missing out on. Your rent will eventually go up. Over the long haul there is no solid argument for renting unless you are moving every 6 to 24 months. The opportunity cost is too high.
