Talked to a mortgage lender Thursday afternoon...

The tax laws favor home ownership, because the "rent" that you pay to yourself in your own home is not taxed. If anyone is confused by this, and wishes me to explain further, I shall.

There is another problem with renting, Obebo. Your landlord might make you move out! And in the meantime, you can't mess with your pad too much - you know, like moving some walls around or whatever.
