            I basically bought my first (only) house for 0 money down with first time homebuyers stuff. Ya I had to pay mortgage insurance for a while but my mortgage payment is less than what it would be to rent the same house by like, a lot.

      And renters miss the fact that by intelligently investing the renter’s dividend that I mentioned they could usually make a much better return than they can by investing it in their own property. Almost none of them even save that money, let alone invest it smartly.
