Recycles dryer sheets
I currently own and have no mortgage. I live in Orange County, one of the beach cities, and real estate, in my opinion, is overpriced. Sometimes I am tempted to sell my house and rent for psychological reasons. I think I would feel more carefree if I don't have to worry about maintaining, repairing my house and yard. I am a woman and not good with household repairs nor yard work so I have to hire a handyman and a lawn guy for pretty much everything.
I am curious if anyone out there in ER is enjoying being a renter? If you are renting do you sometimes wish you owned your principal residence? Is the grass always greener on the other side? And for those who own, do you like me, sometimes fantasize about being a carefree renter?
Of course, rent is also high in my town but I don't have to worry about repairs and maintenance. And I'd have the freedom to move whenever I want to without having to prep the house to put it on the market.
Please share your thoughts on this topic. Thank you in advance. I've always enjoyed reading everyone's discussions on various topic. Have a great weekend All!
