Lol. Last apartment I lived in had a couple move in across the hall. Too many DV incidents to count.
|

It's only for a year but man it's a pain in the ass when it comes to moving.

Rents have gone up 50 to 80 % here yet wages haven’t budged, gonna get frosty soon.

I miss my old apartment. Honestly, I loved apartment living. Owning a home has been nothing but a headache.
We're gonna pay the mortgage off early, get out of here as fast as we can. |

You're so poor you can't buy a house for cash for a year and then sell it?

No kidding.
The neighbors let their dogs shit everywhere without picking up after them, despite management providing bag stations. Loud music and drunken gatherings every weekend night. Some schmuck has a polaris slingshot or some similar 3 wheeler that doesn’t leave the complex, cruising around the complex blasting ghetto tunes. |

We were in one for I guess a year or less right after we got married. Looking back I think we were prolly "those neighbors". Screaming sex, loud music on the weekends. Hell, our hours were nuts during the week, getting in close to 10 or 11 every night. And cats (nuff said?). Whoa that brings back a lot of cool memories.

Do people still have to pay rent? I thought cdc said renters can tell their landlords that they arent paying.
|
|
Same but we always rent a house as a bare minimum.
Waiting on our new one to be built. Currently in a 1956 house that’s only 1,800sf, but I’m a resort town and it’s walking/stumbling distance to everything. |
|
id go back to an apt lickety split. Fuck taking care of a house. Love my projects. Hate anything exterior or piddly repairs. would have to be a big studio/loft type apt now though

Correct answer. Neighbors will make or break you. Dope using, loud music playing, pit bull owning clowns are tell tale signs it’s time to haul ass someplace else. |

You pay for someone else to fix problems like thataa part of your rent. Why not take advantage of it? |

My biggest real estate mistake was selling a “condo” (that’s an apartment that you own) in downtown Nashville.
I could rent it out for $2,500 a month right now, the mortgage was $500 a month. |

Quoted: I would feel emasculated making that call but that's just me. View Quote The only difference between apartment/vs homeowner, is that as a homeowner, I am the one opening my wallet. |

I don’t know if I could ever go back to apartments. Nice and dark out here at night too.

You paid for it. I’d feel like a fool and emasculated for wasting my time fixing something I paid someone else to deal with. Not to mention incurring the liability of something going wrong. |

Thats not the point. I've been a home owner my almost my entire adult life. I've grown accustomed to figuring shit out. Most of the time it's a job well done, every now and then I have to call in the pros. Same for vehicles. Most people on this site are in the same boat. If you have a warranty or having someone fix things for you cause it's baked into the price by all means do the smart thing a use it. I just would have a hard time being in that position from the get go and it would be tough for me to make those calls. |

Never really figured out the difference between a condo and an apartment. You can rent a condo (at least around here), so WTF?
The condo across the commons from us is going for $4,500 a month, with a four month minimum. It's almost never vacant. The HOA dues are extortionate, but at a certain age leaving the painting, grounds and snow shoveling to someone else is bliss. |

In my lazy younger days I loved my apt I had to do nothing but clean the inside. In my older lazy days I love the fact that I am not spending 24k a year that I will never see again. Sure I have to do some stuff out side but not a lot.

I have some STORIES from living in a low rent apartment community. I ended up getting a lawyer involved to help break me out of that lease.
I did it right the second time. Not in the ghetto and minimum section 8 units. It was 100x more peaceful. No thugs standing around watching to see when you leave so they can break in your place, if someone had a large party at least there wouldn’t be gun shots or large throw down fights and tons of police cars having to come in all the time to break up disturbances. |
