Do you rent or own where you live?

[Bling]

So,

I'm looking at getting in on some house ownage action.

So just thought it would be interesting to see how many of ya sold your soul to the bank for that mortgage and how many rent....

vote and comment if ya like


Currently living with my parents

As of now we own our own home , our offer got accepted so that's the easy part

[Brick]

aw how cute luke, you made a "live with mum option" esp for me

[Bling]

you know you love it Corey

[crispy'86]

special option for a special person

[Dell'Orto]

We bought our house, such a better way of wasting money paying our own mortgage instead of some other pricks.

Buy a house near town

But yeah, the whole "Do I buy a house thing...." is something only you can really answer

[Bling]

its not that kind of question, was just wondered how the toyspeeders live.

I'll be buying as I'm sick of flatting, was just seeing what others do

a house near town..... hehe yes.......

Own 2 houses but don't live in either

When in NZ I prefer to rent. In the UK right now I rent as well and it's cheap as

[Voodoo]

currently renting, but owned houses in the past (well banks own most of it lol) but plan to get back into house ownership soon

[Barks]

I'm another one who does both - I own, but have rented the house out, and I live in a house that my partner and I rent off her parents. Works well, my mortgage is paid by my tenants, and I'm paying less than my mortgage to live here.

I found it was going to be cheaper to buy than rent, so to speak, bought a 2 bedroom unit for less than renting a 3 bedroom house, sure, I dont have as much space, but in time to come the money is in my pocket, not someone elses. PLan is, in 2 years, I'll own my 2nd, or maybe even 3rd place.

[gurutasker]

Currently tossing up the same question. It may be that I go renting for a little while then see what kind of location/house I want to get into.

[Elmendorf]

Just signed my life away on a mortgage for a 4 bedroom house with 3 car garage and workshop on 1/2 acre of subdividable land and gonna be paying way less than the shitty rent on the crappy 2 bedroom ex state house no section single garage pos we rent at the moment and we will own 25% of the house immediately:D

Can you tell I'm stoked

[Silent Knight]

I nearly went in to the 'House Ownership' group the other day but I'm not to keen on buying a house on Leasehold so gave it a pass...

Problem is just in Auckland house prices are SHIT. I'd rather have to drive 45mins to work and back everyday and get me like a 1/2 acre section somewhere little bit outside of Auckland where I can have animals and cars etc.

Live with my mum.

$&#$% you

[Silent Knight]

$&#$% you

Least you get properly cooked food.
Can't remember the last I had a nice big meal prepared with only the love a mum can give.

[big_boy]

thats why you need a girl friend that can cook

[Silent Knight]

thats why you need a girl friend that can cook

I gots myself a woman thing that cooks.
But there is a difference between a cooking woman thing and a cooking mum.

[~SlideWays~]

I bought with my girlfriend about 6 months ago. Expensive but fukn rocks having your own place with garage and big back yard for the dog. She never liked the last rental place lol.

Plan is to do it up then rent it out or buy another place for the same reason. I want lots of land, bigger garage and shit...problem is with working in the wgtn cbd its pretty hard to get those things close to town.

Best thing is I didn't have to sell any of my cars
