Why You Should Consider Buying a House

October 8, 2018 6 Comments

Why should you consider buying a house? If you’re a skeptic of the title, by the end of this post I’ll have you thoroughly convinced. You’ll see. The trials and tribulations of home ownership await. Take your front row seat to the sh*t-show of owning your own four walls, courtesy of this author’s wack adventures.

Owning a house can be a very rewarding experience. You can paint the walls whatever color and whenever you wish. You can install shag carpeting and hang thousands of pretty lights at Christmastime, without permission. Wallpaper your thing? How about mirrors on the ceiling, or mirrors covering the fireplace surround? Anything goes!

The intangibles are worth noting too. You never have to worry about a landlord kicking you and your family to the curb, or selling the house from under you. No worrying about rent increases either, just property tax extortion.

Read the rest of the tale over at blogging friends and everyone’s favorite breakfast, Waffles On Wednesday. (Oh, and have a great Monday!)

    Soooo many downsides to home ownership. Even so, the upsides absolutely outweigh them ?

      Right on! And if you own rental properties, you get the joy of the same old $hit to deal with at your other addresses. Sigh – but a certified A-1 first world problem kind of sigh…
