I couldn't agree more with your idea of working against the dichotomy. Nobody's situation is going to be the exact same. If your situation fits into a space in which owning a home is the best option, then by all means do it. I'm of the opinion that more people are in the situation where owning a home would be better than renting than many believe.
Thank you @strangerarray for the encouragement. Hope you enjoy your house as well!
@brandonp I'm all for your article. I own a couple rental condos (which is an additional ball of wax..lol) but as long as the numbers work and I'm seeing cashflow after all expenses it always makes a good investment! I've put up a couple posts on steemit in regard to real estate investing. More to come!
