When I rented I paid for Nada sans the rent
And the owner of the house paid the rest...thus money is still being spent
Not the same. You know that.
No I do not. I currently rent the home I live in. The landlord has since I moved in spent money on a new roof, a leaking water pipe coming off the main, fixing the AC and some plumbing work. Why is it different that he did it and not me?
Because he will do the bear min. You would likely spend more to make it nicer.
You are trying so hard and failing so badly. He has to be able to rent it again in a year when we move.
My dad is an owner of several homes. We don’t buy the top of the line stuff and do the bear min. In Boston there is always demand. But when we moved to our home we had to get all new furniture, appliances, bedding, got a dog, our spending went up exponentially. Then we finished the basement, added a bathrooms, etc. There is a difference.
