Idk I just want a place to live that is not giving money to a landlord but I would also like to be able to get out of that place without getting fucked over financially

I get it.

And as Ive said, Ive bought a house that I dont even live in so Im not looking to demonise people for seeing property as an investment. I was, like you, just trying not to get shafted. If my motives were more nefarious, I would have bought several houses, had the tenants pay the mortgage for me and then retire on that, but I dont feel thats ethical, so I didnt do it.

And I totally agree that renting is much more appealing in places with rental controls and protections for tenants.
