    Some folks are able to buy a home but choose to rent because they can also afford a landlord that’ll actually do the job a landlord is hypothetically there to do and fix the place up if there’s an issue

      Also if you don’t want to be stuck in a particular city or neighborhood for long, renting is a better option.

      I was happy to rent in my 20s because I’d move to a new town every year, trying to find the one I liked best.
