How many people does your situation apply to? Personally, I prefer having a landlord take care of appliances over the freedom to make my own changes.

  Probably a lot. I've never seen an apartment that lets you make any changes beyond putting in your own furniture. No painting walls, no hanging pictures, changing carpets, etc. You're stuck with whatever bargain bin ammenities the landlord picked, unless you feel like packing up and moving. Plus, your rent will probably go up at a similar rate to inflation, whereas a mortgage payment will stay the same as long as you didn't sign up for an adjustable rate mortgage.

  Every long-term homeowner I know has done at least that much. Many have done larger home improvement and remodeling projects.

    Yes, I'd assume home owners modify their house... but that doesn't really answer the question.

      The US home ownership rate is 64%. So to answer your original question, that situation applies to nearly 64% of people.
