I saw some post recently talking about the “owner class” and I think there shoudl be another term for that like “landlord class”, cause I don’t know about where y’all are at but here renting is ASTRONOMICAL but owning is way more affordable (which btw just shows that the landlord class is milking its renters BECAUSE THEY CAN and not because they need to by any means)
#renting#home ownership#house hunting#owner class#like listen i am in a VERY cheap place for my area - i cannot get anything cheaper within like#200 miles of a city#(i'm not exaggerating)#other than a 200 sqft studio in an apartment building#and i am STILL paying probably half again as much as I would pay for a mortgage on a similar size place somewhere#so saying that people who own something are more affluent is a fallacy#if you can get past the downpayment hurdle it's much cheaper#also wish me luck on finding my forest cottage#for reference $1300 rent will get you a 1br apartment here if you're lucky#probably ~500sq ft in a building#whereas $1300 for a mortgage would get you a small 2br house#and if you go further out of town that size gets bigger#whereas the rent doesn't decrease (yeah it doesn't add up and i don't understand it)#sooo yeah you do the math
