These statements show a fundamental lack of understanding regarding ownership versus loan repayments and taxes.
If renting works for you............good luck with that...........but, for knowledgeable folks who understand appreciation and leverage, home ownership is the only way to go.
I've owned 11 houses via the use of loans and leverage. I'm now down to four, but the benefits of them (estimated return of 1000% on invested capital over 20 years) certainly won't be dismissed by folks who don't understand the principles.

Sincerely, I'm glad you were able to make things work using debt. For me, taking on debt is a promise to pay based on future earnings. I can't predict the future, so its a bit risky in my book, especially when I work in a job that does not have a steady income and is subject to the whims of the local economy.
This is a bit OT, so I'll read your response and leave it at that.
