I agree but what you chose to do effects the lives of others. You're participating in something that is built to hurt people for not being as lucky as you are.
Agreed, especially in today's market. It wasn't the case back when I bought the properties. 15 years ago, it was a renters market. Landlords were under pressure, but cheaper prices and low interest rates made it feasible. My first house that I bought was cheaper per month than the apartment I was renting previously.
