Luckily the locker room is only for above average people.A little over 1/3 but I rent and I don't work full time. I'll be working full time or more by August.
I think buying houses and mortgages are a scam, for the average person.
You'll make a great pilot.As a sales guy it depends on the month / quarter / year. Last year about 14%. Bad month 20% great month 6%. There can be a pretty big swing.
The goal is / was to have my house paid for in 5 years from time of purchase, so I've been paying substantially more than the ask. But I'm the cheapest son of a bitch you ever met. I wear Levi's and drive cars to a quarter of a million miles. I bought my house 25 months ago and am a little over 50% of the way finished paying for it.
My wife is convinced I still have my lunch money from elementary school.You'll make a great pilot.
Same for me.25% of mine alone. Adding wife's income drops it to 15%
Tell her it's up to about 40k now...My wife is convinced I still have my lunch money from elementary school.

What's more than full time?
Yea, buying a place to live is just a fad.....it will never catch on.
Renting and getting nothing in return is where it's at...
You do realize when you rent you are basically paying someone else's mortgage for that property?

So Brian is your tenant?Free wears a pair of Levis that are 15 years old, but the pockets are brand new.
My house & our lake place are free & clear, one of the benefits of being old & having not jumped from house to house through the years. We built our home within a couple of years of getting married (we've lived in it for 25+ years) & bought the lake place about 16 years ago.
Have mortgages on a couple of rental places, where we have some chump paying the mortgage, taxes & insurance.

Full time is 40 hours per week.
Renting and getting nothing in return is not renting. I rent and I get a fully furnished place, cable TV, cleaning, utilities, landscaping, maintenance, etc., all included. 1,200 square feet for $900 a month. I live 20 miles north of Washington D.C. It's definitely suburbs but I don't mind. My landlord's mortgage is probably $2,500 a month, not including all the other costs that go into home ownership. His total monthly cost is probably $3,500.
You do realize that buying isn't a great investment when compared with the stock market; not even close. You also have to put in the down payment, which usually is a lot. My security deposit was $200.
You do realize that until the mortgage is paid off, the bank owns the house...not you? Essentially, you're a slave to the bank for 20 years or so. My lease is month to month, so I can move at anytime. And the price will never go up. It's in the lease
But you can enjoy paying all the taxes, insurance, maintenance, upkeep, etc., etc. so you may get a return that keeps up with inflation when you finally sell your house
I see buying a house like signing a marriage contract. Most people do it but most of them shouldn't.

There is no possible way that you pay $900 for a place that your landlord is paying $3500 for. If he was paying anywhere near that cleaning, landscaping and cable would have stopped yesterday. At least be realistic in your fabricated tales.
I have two rental properties, if I was recovering less than a third of what I was putting into the place from my tenant I would be violating every orifice of that tenant contractually at my every whim. I'd probably write their Grandman and third grade teacher into the agreement too.
$900 is what I have been paying since I moved in here, which was June of 2014. I'm not sure exactly what my landlords mortgage is. I just estimated it.
I don't lease the entire house. I lease the 1,200 square foot basement AKA garden level
My son is getting ready to go to the DC area for an internship. Can you let us know about a similar sweet heart deal?
He hates the idea of buying...
No mortgage but still pay insurance, property tax, talquin, waste pro, comcast and a few others.

20 miles north of DC, where? $900 for a basement is standard around here.
