They usually say something like owning an apartment is worse than renting an apartment and I should save up for a house because that’s better.

If you add up all the income I’ve made in my life, it’s probably nowhere close to being enough to buy a house anywhere in my city. But some trashy apartment? I think I could afford that eventuallly. I only rent trashy apartments and the landlords don’t fix anything worth a damn and I end up doing half of my own repairs - cuz at least that way it’s done properly. it annoys me every time that I fix up some rich person’s apartment, then I move, then fix up that rich person’s apartment rinse and repeat. And it’s annoying that the landlord tells me if I modify the room (ex repairs) that violates my lease and they’ll evict me.

But if I own it? At least I just fix it once.

Irl people also say if i buy it, it could have like black mold. Like dude, my current place has black mold already. I think most of the irl ppl I know are pay check to pay check, but I don’t use taxis or buy take out the way they do.

(My bathroom door literally just fell of its hinges.)

    Are you looking to buy an apartment as in a condo? I’m not sure what it is like where you live. Here apartment type condos are more difficult to sell, but you own it and don’t have to deal with cutting grass and snow removal. I think there are pros and cons to renting and owning. I say do whatever feels right for you.

      I think so cuz they have condominium fees for things like cutting grass and snow removal.

        Ok, yeah. If you’re looking to not having those responsibilities it could be great!

            OK, as long as my comments are visible then I think that’s probably sufficient. Thanks!
