Genuine Question

The freedom to do what you want in your own home and not have to answer to a landlord. For that very reason I would not buy a house in a neighborhood with a homeowners association. If I want to fence my yard in, cut down a tree, and plant another tree in a different place, it's my yard, my business.

Don't know about where you live but where I do it's cheaper to have a mortgage than rent a house. Ok you have to do your own up keep but you're paying the house off so there's equity in it.

So I have the power to live without being kicked out >:/ and only have like 6 weeks to get another place.

If you have a layover like parents house, which I don't have, it's less of a worry.

You can make a fun house <3 With fire poles and a wrestle mat. Owning a house is great for hobbies

Usually mortgage payments are less than rent. You get your money back (minus the interest) when you sell. No one can tell you what you can do with the space.

You can hire someone for the lawn. Or xeriscape so you don't have to mow.

If that’s your only concern I’ll do it for you for free😂 guess I’m a boomer in this sense but I LOVE mowing lawn hahaha

Investment

Developing equity. To many their house is their biggest "bank account."

Great profile image.

I love gardening.

If I'm going to spend that much money each month I want to buy something, not give it away.

Freedom.
You could always buy a condo if you don't want to mow a lawn.

Not mowing the lawn? Are you my next door neighbor?

Get a condo

Not having to pay rent forever.

That's why they have companies that provide lawn care

People often don’t like to be grassed on

One word, landscaper.

women, of course

if the idea of homes didn't appeal to women all men would be perfectly content sleeping in their cars

/jk

home ownership would allow you and a Girlfriend/wife or roomies with bennies paint the walls naked leading to a paint fight and paint fueled orgy and not worry about a landlord inspecting and finding the huge smear with obvious breast marks and butt marks all over the walls

NOT LAWN just heaps of beaches
