>the landlord can literally just double your rent out of nowhere
Yep, happened to me. I just told him to get fucked and moved somewhere else.
>necessarily security if you are forced to move at 70 years old and can barely move.
Sure, but why worry about this in your 20s or 30s? I think its better to rent until 50s or even older. There's plenty of other things to invest in that doesn't require maintenance and can be sold later to buy a house when you're old.
>You can't make alterations to the house unless you get permission. Landlord can impose other rules on you as well.
This is a luxury, like the yard and garage which like I said is cool, but doesn't really make it a better decision
>but you are probably dreaming right now, and you would be the one in a billion exception, not the rule for society to live by
You think a house is the #1 best performing possible investment? I think houses just have the spotlight right now because inflation has been batshit insane for the past few years, but in normal circumstances its just one decent option out of many, with a lot of liability and extra baggage tied to it, especially if its your only real investment like the average homeowner.
There are cases where it makes sense, like if you don't plan to leave your town or you're just rich enough that the house is just a small part of your portfolio. But I think most zoomers and millenials crying about houses right now don't really know what they want.
