My point is that you charge market price. Because that's how markets work. Price to rent ratio varies very widely between different markets. If you don't want to buy in a market with a high price to rent ratio that's fine. Th

I agree it changes the experience of playing the game for a human quite a bit, and you'll use different tactics, but for the kind of solver I made it doesn't change much - I had to change very little code to make it work. From the

Right. It's a fixed term loan. Not revolving credit. These 2 loans are mathematically equivalent: $35 at 0% APR, $4 fees, 6 weeks fixed term $35 at 123% APR, $0 fees, 6 weeks fixed term You could argue the high APR loan is worse becaus
