Human photography essay

Perhaps renting in an extremely desirable area is actually superior to owning?

Especially if you do the math, it is pretty ridiculous. Renting is waaaaay cheaper than buying a house, and having a mortgage payment.

Not only that, but all these hidden catches like property tax, which could cost a lot to; like $1800 a month, home insurance which is another two or $300, so even if you bought the house in 100% cash, you’re still paying a residual at least $2000 a month. Just throw in another thousand dollars and already rent somewhere super good, and *NOT* be tied down to a stupid property for the next 30 years your life!
