[Mortgage Is ‘Just A Fancy Bullsh*t Word For Paying Rent For 30 Years To The Bank,’ Says Real Estate Billionaire Grant Cardone — Here’s Why Renting Could Be A Better Financial Move

Aight let’s see. Mortgage is a fixed rate over an agreed upon term that ends with you owning the property, rent increases every year, you have no control over the property and you get fucked constantly.
Yup, totally the same thing.
Also my mortgage for my 1/2 acre property with 1500 sqft house is $50 less per month than my 900 sqft poorly constructed “high end” apartment rent was about to spike up to. You know, after renters protections were removed during the pandemic.
Quick edit: furthermore, it took me until I was 30 to buy a house. In that time I spent 170k in rent, when I started renting the property I’m currently living in was worth 140k. That’s pretty easy math right there. Just like… Come on.
But… but… but you still have to pay for maintenance and repair.
Ok I’m half kidding, given you still have to pay those things but depending on how the math works it can still be cheaper to own.
It’s always cheaper to own given you live an adult life for at least like 15 years. The rub is whether or not you can afford the upfront costs to get a property.
Also you pay for maintenance and repair and taxes and all that nonsense in your rent, it’s just one bill instead of multiple.
