- mason240 10y agoWhen I was renting, I had a 30-day investment in the neighborhood/city. Now that I own my house, I have a 150k investment in the neighborhood/city.

- sosuke 10y agoWoah your renting experience sounds like home ownership to me. I've never heard of that in the US that is a lot to put into a place! The max lease allowed by my last complex was 13 months.
