Timothy Curry MD+FollowIs Homeownership a Scam? Why does my "dream" feel more like a constant, chaotic money pit?Everyone pushes homeownership: "Build equity," "freedom," "asset." But all I've gotten so far is random repairs, surprise $10k bills, things breaking for no reason, and me Googling weird noises at 3 AM like a paranoid raccoon. It genuinely feels like society oversold the entire concept. The emotional tax of always being on the hook for everything is exhausting. #Homeowners #Homeownership #Mortgage #RentingVsBuying 00Share
williecline+FollowCame home to strangers in my house, and the police said I "can't kick them out."It’s a nightmare. We went on vacation for a week, and came back to find someone had changed the locks and moved in. I called the cops. They looked at a fake lease the guy showed and told me: "This is a civil matter. You have to evict them through the court. It could take 6 months." Wait, this is MY house! Why does the law protect the intruder over the homeowner? Is private property dead in America? #SquattersRights #Homeowners #RealEstate #LegalLoophole #CivilMatter2015Share
Brad Caldwell+FollowWhy Homeowners Aren’t Moving in 2024Thinking about moving? You’re not alone if you’re staying put. In big cities like LA, NYC, and San Francisco, homeowners are hanging onto their places thanks to sky-high prices and low mortgage rates they locked in years ago. With so few homes for sale, even folks who want to move are worried they won’t find anything better. If you’ve got a good rate, sitting tight might be the smartest money move right now. #RealEstate #Homeowners #MoneyHacks00Share
