I've been in my rental house for a year, this month. For two reasons only, I rent. 1. Credit. 2. I doubt that I can afford it. In fact, I know I can't. As much as I would love to call this..my house, I can't do iright now. It is nice, though, when something goes on the fritz, all I have to do is call the landlord and he takes care of it. I don't have to worry. But I'd rather own. Later, QD.
