I'd agree if I could afford the caliber of apartment she's living in. Cheap apartments are a completely different universe from costly apartments.
Right send an email and it's fixed the next day. That tickled me
Send an email, get no response. Send a second email, get no response. Send a third email, get a response that says "we'll have maintenance take a look at it" send an email 3 days later, no response. Send another email, "Sorry, maintenance will be by today" and nothing happens. Finally a month later maintenance comes in, says you broke it, and the apartment will bill you for it.
😂 sounds like all she needed was a housekeeper and a handyman 😂 ...... and the email AND then it's fixed,,,, funniest thing I've ever heard her say

I live cheap & probably always will. More money more problems, without question.💯
This works when you already have a lot of money, lol.
That’s dumb this because this actually works if you don’t have a lot of money. If she was complaining about the upkeep imagine someone with less would be able to do.
Renting? Tf u talking about
@@DJSolisticaThey are saying that she can rent a really nice apartment without ever having to worry about money so that's why she feels like the upkeep of home ownership isn't worth it
@@Roblafo anybody who can work a full time job can afford to rent their whole life if they choose to. Takes a bit of saving and other investing though.
Yep, she will probably spend at least $1 million over a lifetime, but everything is taken care of for her and she probably makes way more than that in like 5 years.
She must be one of the few people with a good landlord
She's got the money to be renting from a company that probably houses the maintenance in house.
As a landlord myself; it’s hard finding people to do the work. Something’s broke, I call around the day my tenants tell me it’s broke (meanwhile I’m at my day job).
Takes the person 3-5 days to get out, then they need to order a part etc. then if insurance gets implicated the repair waits until insurance gives the okay.
I know there are a lot of bad landlords, but the idea that you can get something fixed the next day is unrealistic unless of course you have a dedicated maintenance staff on-hand and insurance isn’t involved. So as a landlord myself; I see both sides of the coin.
It's freaking Jeanette she's a celebrriyy
@@leprechaun3677what kind of landlord?
I've rented for over 20 years. Never ran into one of the so called "bad" landlords. Mostly middle and southern USA though. Idk about the west. I refuse to go over there.
More house owners need to speak up about this. Owning a house is cool, but the maintenance fees is no joke. Any savings you think your getting from owning can instantly get swept up by the wrong series of things breaking, especially if you don't like to upkeep on things.
Not always, bit for everyone. I been in my home for 4 years this year and I have never had to fix anything. Other than basic battery change to smoke detector and that's not even every year. I used to do the lawn my self but I came to realize that it takes way too long to do it myself. I spend 100 a month and I get all that time back for me to do other stuff. Like enjoy family, friends, get out of town without having to worry about the lawn. It was impossible getting it done during the week and it's just not worth the savings to give up my weekend. I rather pay. Other than that I pay my regular house bills like anyone else who rents. On top of taxes and insurance of course cuz I have it separate from my mortgage (I like it that way)
I pay way less than if I would be renting. And don't have to fix anything on a routine. I I'll be prepared for when it does happen but she makes it seem like she got an very old house. And mine ain't a new build just got lucky I guess.
You throw the money away renting. Owning a home is an investment that will take a minimal amount of effort at least. Yes you gotta buy a washer but the dude you're paying could buy four when the time comes. Manage your money and a landlord is just YOU. Might feel worse cause you're using "savings" but at that point it's the purpose you started saving for so don't sweat it. Renting just feels like it's for people that cant really take care of themselves.. I cant imagine a home gets that bad unless you're generally irresponsible, like myself, which really makes renting seem worse cause it can't be very calculated. Who's willing to rent without it being a cope? People with pride and dummy rich people, so basically both really enjoy renting. Condos above the race track type shit fr
In her book one thing she said that while in therapy her therapist had asked about the home and she had said there was always, always something to be fixed. And that it was so big it made her feel lonely. I can’t imagine having a massive house, be responsible for everything and be alone. That sounds depressing.
Sounds like she bought a house that was too big for her. Of course you're going to be miserable if you buy a house that you're investing in with maintenance and it's not actually right for you. People buy homes that are big and costly, and then are house- poor, or it doesn't suit their lifestyle.
It's called being an adult.
@@mattstrathis4328 being incredibly depressed and lonely? Sorry adulthood sounds sad for you dude.
Yeah dude homes are a lot of maintenance. If she just bought a resonably sized house it wouldn't have been as bad
Ya, having to work and do stuff is hard.
She’s not wrong. People underestimate the amount of maintenance required on a home, especially older homes.
She's not right either. It is what it is. To each their own. Personally, I would NEVER want to rent or live in an apartment. NEVER.
@@mnight207some ppl are sold on this hone ownership is a must that they walk into some what blindly they do forget about the maintenance furnishings of the home bcuz youre now in a bigger setting and with more responsibility. Let's not forget any upgrades u want to make to the property I have co workers who are home owners and literally go crazy if there's no over time and the first thing they say is I have a mortgage and I have to pay this and that in my house and u can see the stress on their faces smh. I had one co worker who bought a house and she didn't keep it two yrs bcuz it was too much financially on her I think alot of ppl crunch the numbers for purchasing but forget the other details that come with it
@@letrice2892 I'm a licensed realtor in Pennsylvania. I'm well aware.
My home was built in 1790. The projects are endless
Maybe if youre a lazy couch potato like you 😂😂
I partly understand. Being single with no kids, a big house isn’t necessary. But with her money, any house maintenance and upkeep can definitely be done the next day. Just hire someone to come do it quickly. I just hate apartments, but I’m sure she’s in a very luxurious one with amazing amenities… as she should.
It must be nice to be able to CHOOSE apartment life. Most people don't rent by choice, they rent because the barrier to buying is so high. And end up paying more in rent than mortgage+upkeep. If you like not having to worry, that's great for you if you have the money to pay someone else to take care of everything for you (I will note, there are people you can pay to do the same thing for your home you live in, if you want that).
She mentioned in her book that there were people working on her house like the whole time she lived there. The contractors would fix something, but then they would "find something else" so it was like her house kept breaking. I think she was getting fucked over and they were scamming her. She was a very young adult without any family to give her advice, and due to her relationship with her mom, she was someone who was very easy to manipulate and take advantage of. I don't blame her for hating owning a home after going through that crap though
🤔....yall ever realize that this was a "tell-all" book? It's SUPPOSED TO sound dramatic and in books like those, ppl tend to stretch the truth to get a more dramatic reaction out of ppl reading. Like EVERYTHING was just trauma inducing. Also in an interview she said "SOUNDS LIKE hush money to me" when they tried to give her money 🤦♂️ that isn't even "legally binding" she could've taken it and STILL RELEASED THE BOOK. Every little thing surrounding the book has to be dramatic as well, she has to SELL THE STORY 😂
What do you want us to do with this? Why would we take your word about someone's life that you're not a part of? @@home9dog2blue199
@@home9dog2blue199dude, take your meds...
I'm a 2-time homeowner now, and I do LOVE the freedom that comes with owning your home, I would also like the freedom to just notify the landlord when something breaks down! To be able to just send a text "the washing machine went out," and then within a day or two, it's professionally fixed, with no hassle or extra cost to me, sounds relaxing! If I had tons of money, owning a home would be a lot more freeing, because I wouldn't have to stress about upgrades, remodels or repairs. Unfortunately though, I'm not wealthy, so I just make it work until I have another option! For example, my kitchen desperately needs renovating (structural deterioration problems, but not unsafe or anything), I need a new water heater soon, my AC unit will need replaced soon, and I'm always worried about something breaking down. It's just that stuff is always on my mind. 😆 first world problems...
IT IS CALLED A MONEY PIT LOL
See but for the rest of us plebs, if something goes wrong in our apartment, rare is the management that’s there fixing it the next day! 😂
If they come to fix it at all….. lmao
I’ve heard horror stories of landlords telling their tenants “it’s not in the contract” like a you broke it you buy it situation
Sucks to be yoy....I lived in the most garbage neighborhoods and my landlord would send out workers as soon as he could...
@@lilfishnet9265same here
If You Sent Landlord An Email
They'd Threatened To Eviction
They Don't Like Digital Paper Trails
Management in my apartment fixes issues on the same day. It really just depends on how much the company cares about their tenants
Noobie mistake, of course you get a janitor, a gardener and a butler with the house.
Smh she clearly didnt play the sims
These people are wildly out of touch with reality.
She is the kind of person who does not want to be bothered by finance and chores. She would rather pay up for rent and has less headache. If I were single, I would 100% live in an apartment too.
Only reason I if I were single to get a house is strictly for a garage, apartments where I live really don’t like you working on your car in the lot
@lindyt3942 I honestly forget about that
I don’t even understand the point of houses when you live alone. Apartments are nice and provide a single person with just enough room. And if you don’t like close neighbors, get a condo it’s the same idea.
I’d buy one if I were single.
You can still own an apartment and not pay rent the maintenance isn’t that much of a headache and with her type of money she could just call someone and pay to have it fixed and save a bunch rather than rent. She’s just lazy and she pays extra money just for not having to put in a negligible amount of effort
Home ownership is not for everyone.
True that😂
if you dont want to own a home get a condo like me
Yeah easy to say when the landlord actually looks after the property. There are a ridiculous amount of slumlords and trash landlords that won't fix things for months, if at all.
Usually comes down to wealth/class, like most things.
When you’ve got million(s) plural like this chick does, it honestly doesn’t matter what you do as long as you don’t blow it all. That money will produce passive income sitting in the market or treasuries to last a lifetime. For the average person though, owning a home is usually a pretty big key in building wealth.
@J-wu8sc that's old thinking. There are better ways to grow your money than home owning.
It’s great that she shares her experience. Most don’t have the financial freedom to make this decision and tell about it.
The thing about houses is they aren’t meant to last forever. If you get a house expecting maintenance then it’s not so bad. It’s actually fun, especially if you can learn to do some of it yourself. It’s when you see maintenance as a problem, and expect things to be “problem free” is when it becomes a drag
I was a renter and they wouldn't even let me borrow the water hose to wash my bike, and anything turned into a warning. No thanks!
Were you in a luxury apartment
Yeah, she’s not renting like regular people; she’s more than likely renting at a “luxury apartment” building.
Yeah some places suck it can be hard to find a good spot
@@tainadelcaribe she is still not super rich tho but she ain't poor so it works for her
@setofreakinkaiba8553 she's rich, or did you forget the part where she sold her almost million dollar home simply because she felt like it ? What percentage of people get to do that ?😂
She is right, but now my mortgage is much lower than rent. The house next to me was being rented out for $3k/month. What people are charging for rent is insane.
Your mortgage is lower. I give you that. But how much maintenance and unexpected repair costs and property taxes are you paying for that might either meet or exceed the cost of your neighbor’s monthly rent?
Where I live the mortgage is much higher than rent :/
I know someone who sold their house because of property taxes and now they are renting again. Home owners only talk about mortgage as if that was the only expense you'd worry about as a house owner...
That $3k/month rented house how much would it cost you per month if you were buying it right now ? I hear that a lot but right now every place I looked around me that seems decent renting is basically half per month when you add up mortgage, city taxes and other expenses like that.
Especially now that interest are crazy high.
@@RomyAndMichelle You pay property taxes either way. Either rolled into the rent or on your own
she is living in a high rise with valet parking that fills up her car with gas, concierge that accepts packages, extra thick soundproof walls, fully stocked gym with personal trainers, a lap pool overlooking the city, in house spa, jacuzzis, in house 5 star chefs that prepare her meals, laundry service, door to door dry cleaning, housekeeping better than the Ritz Carlton, armed security, etc etc
Don't you for a second think these people ain't living good.
I also love renting. I don't want to deal with repairs and landscaping and stuff. Glad to see someone finally saying that you don't HAVE to buy a house.
I had to do landscaping at my rental
In her book, she even talks about how she always had a contractor over working on something. She did MAJOR value-add and whoever convinced her to sell for $900k should be arrested.
Yeah no, I’d do the same. My place is my place. I don’t want ANYONE I don’t know there and if they are there I’m super uncomfortable waiting for them to leave
So they should be arrested because she’s dumb enough to agree to let them sell it for 900k 🤣😂 Let me guess, you want the government to coddle and take care of you too.
2016 wasn’t the best economy, housing was flat in mid 2010s. It didn’t really take off until closer to 2020, then Covid happened.
Sounds like the person who sold her the house does too. $895k and constant repairs?😂😂
@@jameshorton3692 🤣😂 you think the economy took off when Biden got in office? For who? Business owners, sure. The people are getting fucked and have been since he took office.
I mean if she sold for 900k, she lost about 80k due to commission and taxes
She said a random number. Most probably she made a profit
nah man, sale of house works based on the gain, so the only taxes she would pay is based off of the 10k or so profit.
she also was constantly having to do renovations and maintenance so id say she lost WAY more than that. i actually think now they were scamming her :(
So true. We have had to completely re-do everything in our house since we bought 3 years ago. We've spent over $40K just in repairs. Home ownership is really really hard
I think buying a house only makes sense if you're ready to set roots; find your "forever town" or set up to raise a family. OR if you score a deal where somehow a mortgage is easier than rent.
I LOVE living in a house, no random banging noises, no bed bugs, no roaches, further away from trashy neighbors, and I can play my music as loud as I want, work on my car away from everyone, have pets if I want. Pretty much do whatever I want it's so awesome. The only next thing I want is a fence to block out everyone even more.
Lmao omg yesss I love your comment because I relate so much! Like I'm so sick of living in apartments but honestly it's all I can afford because where I live everywhere is just so expensive! I agree with the neighbors part you said people around my apartment are so loud and nosy about every little thing. Like they can't mind their own business! If it doesn't affect them then they shouldn't be saying anything about what I'm doing inside my own apartment. Because I pay rent here I live here just as much as they do! I'm just fed up with living in apartments I'm close to being evicted (very long story landlord issues) but anyway I would love to live in a house that isn't too expensive and no bugs inside the house lol I have a huge phobia of bugs like pretty bad. but as I was saying I'm just tired of being so close to people it's like I'm sharing walls with these people the walls suck completely!!! You can literally hear everything. I've never been in a apartment where you can hear everything that goes on and can even hear other people's conversations the yelling and fighting I live with ghetto neighbors. Like for real! I'm just ready to get tf out of this apartment and get a house once I'm able to. Much more privacy...
Sorry my reply is so long I just really loved your comment & I definitely understand where you are coming from because I'm in that same sh*tty situation it sucks. I NEED A HOUSE I need to make that sh*t happen somehow some way!!!
Yeah we rent a house instead of an apartment. Rental company sucks tho. Love backing up to the woods, a garage, and two floors lol
You're not immune to bed bugs and roaches because you own a home....
@@lavendercig
No, but you can actually take care of it if you do get them, and you don’t have to worry about careless neighbors bringing them to you.
Me in my apartment with concrete ceilings for every apartment, which eliminates sound from neighbors above and our sound from travelling below. No roaches. No water damage. Living right by nature. Not responsible for repairs. Paying half what my friends do in the house they have together which isn't including the thousands they've had to pour into the house for repairs.
If money wasn't an issue I still think I'd prefer to live here where I can say hi to my neighbors because I don't prefer being alone and am not disillusioned to thinking all people ought to be avoided. If it makes you happy to isolate yourself though, I shouldn't judge just because I know I wouldn't be happy.
She’s not wrong, bought a house in 2017; spent more in repairs than I’ve paid on my mortgage. Six months in the furnace decided to quit. Three months later the basement flooded and I had to replace the pump. Spent that summer and fall painting and doing cosmetic things on the inside and outside of the house just to have to rip out the hedge and dig up the front yard to fix the pipes from the house had burst and caused my newly fixed basement to fill with sewage…. Yeah I miss being able to call the landlord and have these issues be someone else’s problem
I spend the same amount on the mortgage and upkeep as well! I'm not a fan of owning but with 3 kids I think it makes a lot more sense to own.
YES I HAD MANY OF THOSE ISSUES, THE SAME THINGS KEPT BREAKING OVER AGAIN. HOUSES ARE MAINTENANCE.
I have 3 kids & I’m happy to rent our house. It’s 110years old & has been maintained beautifully. I like the fact that the landlord has to pay for any repairs. I just live there & take care of it as best I can
I rented a house for 12 years only called the landlord twice. 🤷♂️ I've fixed a lot of things myself just so the landlord wouldn't come snooping around.
I bought a house, and yes, I did a lot to it, but it is valued up by three times I bought it for. To many go out and by these house that look go but flipper fixed it up to sell. So it is not done right. It was fixed up to look good and sell.
This is exactly what I tell people. Maintaining a house is a lot of work. Everything comes out of your pocket and you have to take care of everything. I think getting a house is only for people with a big family or has money or have many animals
I agree. Jennette did mention she doesn't want children. Single and alone. Its easier for her. Especially because she's rich.
A person with children even pets won't he able to rent not a good idea.
It's a lot of work for 1 person to take care of a house. Usually 2 people are involved in buying and taking care of a home.
That’s why it’s really important buying way below your means. And being picky with when the house was built, current problems, etc
It’s way way below her means. She is worth millions lol
@@freyafoxmusic no kidding. This was a general comment for homeowners girly 🙌
I’m glad somebody else said it.
The prices are insane, but the convenience is also insane.
I agree. But rent is also high lol 😅 everything is high
I owned a home right at 18. Not rich. Recieved an inheritance when my father passed.
I'm nearly 30 and still scared to own a home again it was such an awful experience with things going wrong. Flooded twice. Yard excavated 3x. Seemed as if plumbers I paid to fix things didn't take me serious cause I was "a child".
Needless to say I am completely okay with renting and someone else fixing major issues that can come with home owning 😅
Houses are great if you're handy, live in a couple or as a family, or can easily afford to pay for all the maintenance needing to be done. For many of us single people, a condo would be the only realistic place to "own"
I lived in apartments for years hated every minute of it. Yes there is maintenance and unexpected bills that come up but I'm happy in my house. This is also the reason houses were so cheap for so long then people wanted to buy a house all of a sudden and prices went up.
I wish I can get a house. I’m in my first apartment and I love but hate it at the same time.
That is not why houses were cheaper for so long.... holy shit...🤦
@pinklefoo Then why? I've been old enough for people to rent because they didn't want to deal with the responsibilities that came with a house. The only reason people around me bought homes because rent kept going up 10 percent every year. It's still going up.
People bought houses because they were dirt cheap and cooperations buying them up but I’m pretty sure we’re living in a society where people rather rent or do van life then buy a house. Ever since Covid.
I live in a state where people kept moving to and now I see massive amount of inventory on Zillow which is typical. People moving here, complain that it’s hot and leave after a year
Its not "people" buying all the houses & driving prices up. Its corporations. Then they turn them into rentals.
They are literally manipulating the market this way - its the whole "you'll own nothing and be happy" message that the WEF has been pushing the last few years [pretty sure they scrubbed those videos from their website after people FREAKED out about it.... but theres plenty of people who reported on it and downloaded it, so its preserved somewhere]. This is what the powers that shouldn't be WANT - this is what Biden's whole "Build, Back, Better" campaign was actually about. Except things aren't better. Theyre shit.
I loved her book. I read it in one day, I don’t think home ownership is for everyone
I'm jealous of your landlord, could be problems with the pipes, mold, broken shower and we're told to deal with it or pay for it ourselves 😭
the first problem was buying in LA, second problem is renting is just throwing money away unless you don't care, third problem is that with apartments your are placing your safely in the hands of those around you. if your neighbor is a moron and starts a fire in the middle of the night you're screwed
It really depends on where you renting tho cause not everyone has the experience of good landlords
When she said "fixed the next day" my jaw dropped. Cuz never have I experienced that. I usually have to argue for weeks about the most basic, legally required, things like expired smoke alarms 😭
She has lawyer moonie
Got that right, my landlords 70+ years old, so I've basically just been fixing everything myself anyways 😑 or I'll have to wait weeks for him to remember to schedule it
Yes 👏🏼
@@shellym79she’s rich lol. She probably lives in an expensive LA apartment. I’m sure they fix that stuff quickly.
Home ownership definitely comes with maintenance that is often overlooked. However, one of the best reasons to purchase a home is because it's stabilizes your biggest line item which is housing, assuming you get a fixed rate mortgage. This is now inflation-prood for 30 years for most people. Pricing, especially in metro areas, is wild so I understand this on its own isn't necessarily the only reason you should buy but IMO it's a really good one.
Insurance goes up, taxes go up, and maintenance costs go up. The only thing that stays the same is your mortgage payment as long as you don’t refinance. I don’t know, man. It’s a shit deal rn with rates so high.
Taxes and insurance goes up so your statement is false
But won't inflation get you through property tax?
@@lauraflanagan9726 possibly in some states, but it's not the bulk of your payment. My statement is mostly true in a state like CA on the property tax side, because we actually cap the rate of increase so it's not so aggressive. I realize that goes against what everyone thinks of CA but your base property tax can't go up more than 2% per year. In any event, if the bulk of your housing payment is fixed that's a good thing because it's predictable.
@@PhilSykora Agree. Money pit
I am also a young woman, and I purchased a lovely, idyllic 1945 Colonial Revival style Home that I adore and feel fortunate to own every second of my Life. I was able to purchase my Home outright, in Cash so as to Live with no mortgage whatsoever. It is not lost upon me how immense that blessing is. I have been in my Home nearly a year and a half and have yet to face any major repairs; but, I could never reside in an apartment. There is such freedom in Home ownership. I appreciate the sheer amount of space as well as the distance from my neighbors! I am not losing money renting something that is not mine. 🏡
People underestimate a man's motivation to fix shit on their own. I dont know if its the testrone rewarding me for completing tasks, but completing things feels reallly reaallllly good.
Renting or owning a home is not for everyone…, do whatever brings you peace.😊

Thank you lol my uncle has been renting for at least 40 years now and my dad has owned and lost 2 houses. Both of them are very different people, with very different lifestyles. Like you said whatever brings you peace.
“Do whatever brings you peace” I like it. Going to reuse it if that’s ok lol another one I like, “…what makes you fall asleep at night”.
@@MegaDeath22my mother bought her house when she was 34 shes 64 retired the house is paid off she was thinking about down sizing bcuz its just her in a four bedroom house she looked at condos and said I will stay in my house 😂😂 she see the cost of purchasing is alot higher compared to when she bought her house in 1994 .Alot of her neighbors have either sold their homes or have allowed a family member to live in the home since it's paid off and they have downsized . U really have to do what's best for u over all
@@letrice2892 oh good for her! I’m 34 couldn’t imagine trying to buy a house right now but definitely like that’s the ultimate goal eventually. My dad was talking about that some thing for his house along the lines like renting it to family.
I don't miss shoveling snow, lawn care, repairs and the little things that kept coming up
That's when you buy a condo.
I had a lot of trees and it was a nightmare
I’m on my way out of home ownership too. I’d rather be vacationing than worrying and spending money on all of this.
The thing is people look down on renters for some reason but there is this mentality that home ownership is equated with success.
If you have a career like she did and maybe your time is so valuable the time value of your money doesn't work if you have to find contractors to fix something that goes wrong e.g. electrical, plumbing, HVAC.
For some people renting makes sense.
As a landlord and home owner she is right. Most times it's much more convenient and cost effective to be a renter. Sure you don't build equity but you live peacefully
How is it possible to be cost effective by adding an extra person to the chain that wants to take a cut?
@@jacobgame2757 month to month, not over time.
People often forget how many little things come with owning the house you live in. The desire to make improvements and customizations. The responsibility of maintence and upkeep. Sure you pay a lot month to month to rent but you never have to worry about the roof, siding, furnace/AC, plumbing, property maintence, taxes, insurance for property, equity loss.
If you are the kind of person who just wants a place to exist, chill and be safe in and have no interest in investing, or building equity then renting is a good option.
As a home owner and landlord I keep reconsidering my own living situation to be a renter instead.
Definitely linked to childhood trauma, too. We find the stress of fixing things and procuring tradesmen difficult. Having freedom and things sorted for us by people we can trust is so appealing..
Childhood trauma is irrelevant to this topic
landlords are not people you can trust renters deal with tons of stress too
This has nothing to do with mental health. She knows exactly what she wants out of life, and spending so much time on fixing your house isn't pleasant at al. When you have a family, it's just different. You're at home more and have the time and village around you with the same problem, so fixing and having help is normal. If you're single, just live and enjoy instead of living and stressing about a house. Especially if you like a soft life.
You’re reaching
@@twilitlmao right. My renters experience is filled with slumlords that act like their going to fix stuff when they come for city inspection. They will wait till the last minute next year to fix the stuff before the inspector comes back. Oh and I have an amazing deal of 600 a month on a 3 bedroom house in Michigan but I’ve had roommates in the attic for years. (Squirrels, raccoons, woodpeckers) I’ve tried live trapping but that never works. 🙄
She’s right. I hate how there’s this kind of robotic behavior to some people. Like someone people think you don’t have your shit together because you have a family but you don’t own a house. Owning a home isn’t having your shit together. Taking care of your family is having your shit together!!

Because let's say yesss, you have an apartment and you can pay for it because you're working, but what about when you're 70 and no longer want to work, where are you going to find the money the keep paying rent?
That's why most people want to own a house eventually
@@jlhn you save and invest for that time or move to SE Asia
I agree. The absolute best part about renting is not having to fix the major things yourself. Or having to find someone who will.
Dealing with maintenance for apartment complex is different at every location. I lived in a 1 bedroom $900 a month, and they took care of everything that went wrong. While a buddy of mine lived in a $1,800 1 bedroom and he complained about maintenance and office management being terrible. The higher doesn't guarantee better service. While the lower pay doesn't guarantee bad service. It's truly hit or miss in any pay range.
You should’ve got an inspection from a reputable inspector, Then you should have put a warranty on your house for “unexpected” expenses. I never wanted a house years ago but now I will never rent again and neither will my children. Too easy to get put out. Rent hikes are what forced me into buying a home. I’m so glad I did. Stop buying homes you can’t afford also.
I’ve been in real estate development for almost 10 years and one thing that started happening right around 2016/2017 is what we were calling “renters by choice.” There was a huge boom of luxury style apartments with top notch amenities and services etc.
A lot of people are making this choice now for exactly the reason she mentioned: the upkeep suxxxxxx
Do you personally know home owners who have this mindset that want to sell their home?🤔
Upkeep does suck, but throwing your money in the wind also sucks. Good thing the choice is mostly taken away now. Into the wind it isss.
OOO WEEE, I wonder why there are so many homeless people. I betcha it's all that avocado toast and starbucks when rent is half your paycheck, and you have to have two or three people renting in a rural apartment, and more than six in a city apartment.
Everytime I have ever had roomates, they were absolute ass. Never paying what they owed in rent, we'd buy groceries, they wouldn't. I'd make meals everyone would eat. House mates would just eat everything.
It couldn't also have to do with getting rid of mental institutions in the eighties, instead cleaning them up and giving them more over sight and funding.
@@jolenetheredhead9761 the pandemic allowed the average person to force corporations to let them work remotely. This was a Golden ticket to wealth, because there's so many places that offer free housing with free home grown food.😉
I love owning my home. I’m in my mid 30’s and have been here 2 years and I absolutely love it. Problems and all- it is truly a home for my kids and I. I agree, it may not be for everyone.
Depending on where you live, owning a house is cheaper than paying rent.
I’ve seen that having a handyman like a husband or family member is key to owning a house successfully.
I think if she had someone else paying for and fixing the house, she would feel differently but since it’s just her, she dislikes it
Honestly, that is so true. As the eldest daughter of an Asian household, I was sorta raised knowing how to maintain a house/household. Everyday, you need to keep a house clean, and that's a bunch of rooms like bedrooms, kitchen, dining, etc. The grounds you have to maintain like watering and trimming the plants/trees/grass whatever. You have to be knowledgeable at inspecting your home regularly like if you got leaks, hardware needs replacing, regular pest control, painting and repainting, woodwork/cabinets etc etc. It is so much work. I think the house is just being kept in the family bc it's on a lot of land and that land is worth so much.
Yeah, you mentioning it all definitely does sound exhausting. But still I dream of my owning my own home
@@scotthearts9634All of the things mentioned can be avoided. I have not one tree on my property. I also pulled up the flower bed from my front yard. I pay less than $600 a year for lawn maintenance. It would be less than that if I just bought a lawn mower😂. Keep a warranty on your house and a credit card like Home Depot or Lowe’s and you will be fine. Lastly, do not buy a house you cannot afford.
" you will own nothing and be ok with it"
I hate big spaces, I really do love apartments, even though nothing has ever gotten fixed here in less than two months!
Rent never stops, your mortgage does.
Property taxes my man, even tho the bank can't take it anymore, the goverment sure as sugar will.
@@cdub1010 Property taxes are nowhere near as much money as rent
@@CAIDMASTEROFPYROoh I know that’s right. Lol my property tax is in the range of maybe 2.5 months of what my mortgage equals.
@@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO remind me of the part where I said they were dumbass
@@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO thank you. And even then some are exempt.
If you’re a regular person you’ll know that the landlord usually doesn’t fix things or kind of fixes it if you’re lucky and sometimes they choose to not renew the lease because house prices have gone up and they want to cash in (happened to three of my friends). They also can increase the rent when it’s time to renew, my cousin is paying 500 more than he first signed up for and they just told him it’ll be 200 more when he renews again. Let’s not forget that they don’t always give your deposit back. Also school zones and having to find rent within the area. Now both have pros and cons. Do what’s best for you.
I agree. Renting does have its perks
As a first time homeowner it can be a PAIN
I’ve owned my house now for 9 months and I have to say I absolutely hate it.
Unfortunately, you bought at the worst time literally the top of the market for in her case she would have probably had 3 million dollar house today but she could have sold for a huge profit but she's Rich anyway so I don't think it matters
@@JacobsNewsI don’t think her issue was the little money she made. More how she didn’t want to deal with having to do all the maintenance and repairs herself or having to hire someone to do it herself. I have an uncle myself that has lived in both and has preferred an apartment over having to deal with any of the home work himself
@@SHR7778that's not what they were saying... they are saying, her only problems are the one's she mentioned, which are not things most people have the luxury (money) to think about.
can i have it?
@@JacobsNewsif you think this is the “top of the market” give it another 12-18 months. Rents will continue to spiral out of control and so will home prices, effectively pricing out new buyers. Wait and see for yourself.
Such a sweet girl. Smh it's crazy how much she's been through
And the comments are trashing her and it’s sickening. Hasn’t she been through enough already??
895k house in 2013 was probably too large of a house for a single person, consider how much younger she was at that time too.
She should buy a couple rentals and have a property manager operate them for her that way she has equity in real estate.
All I heard is “I like throwing money away in the trash”.
Yeah, that's fine, as long as you're sure you'll always have the money to afford it. If rent hikes and crap like that don't affect you, then sure, renting for life could be a pleasant experience. The reason people aim for buying homes rather than renting forever is that, despite all the maintenance and upkeep and extra work, at the end of the day, if you own it, nobody can evict you, and that security means a lot, especially nowadays.
Yeah but you don’t own it now a days. The bank does. You’re still paying rent it’s just called something else now aka “mortgage”. On top of that you’re pouring insane amounts of money into something that will not give you a good return back.
@@CrackDad I was referring to when you finish paying your mortgage. THEN you own it outright.
@@CrackDadmortgage is still waaaay cheaper then renting in my area. I'd be able to afford regular maintenance when I'm paying 900 in mortgage rather than 1600 rent
Even after you own it outright there are property taxes you still have to pay. I know a lot of people who had a parent die and leave them a house but it got foreclosured on because of unpaid property taxes.
@@layna8052 yes I understand that, but 300-500 property taxes a year where I live would bring a mortgage payment to the same monthly payment of rent...but once a year I'm doing that every month. I've been through the process the only reason I haven't bought is because anything I can get for 180000 dollar loan is a meth shack or bought out in cash the next day It goes on market. The housing market is ridiculous no matter what sector of it your looking at.
Renting isn’t a bad option for single women.
I completely agree!! I have a house with my sister and it's such a pain to get repair men out. On top of that the house is right next too the neighbors, so much that we all hear almost everything therefore we don't get the "privacy" of having a house 😒
Same here, when you're young maybe start with renting and if you want to buy a property wait until you find a deal that really makes sense because chances are you will end up losing money even when selling it maybe 5 to 10 years after your initial down payment. All expenses + the rent you get from tenants while you have the house is very expensive plus usually people lose money most months while having the asset. So renting for a year or two might end up saving you money down the line. On the other end I know people in their 20's doing med school and business school, both bought multiple doors and are happy with their returns so really it's all about the maths. Peace✌️
Bought in 2017 sold in 2022. While mowing the lawn and cleaning the pool was very zen, constantly cleaning and doing maintenance on a larger than i need space was insane. Renting a condo now near uptown. The pool is taken care of by the community, the lawns and other greenery is maintained by a service as is insect management. I have a space thst fits me perfect, i pay a lot less, i am in a better location.
Why not just rent out the house to someone you trust, cover more than your mortgage, and put the extra you make off rent into an account to handle any unexpected repairs? It seems more beneficial than selling.
@@ohhollyyy divorce
@@JDSileo well I suppose that makes sense.
@@ohhollyyy Good luck finding people "you trust" these days to respect your property. Even family members can mess up your property and cost you thousands in repairs and maintenance if you're not careful. Better to downsize and let someone else deal with the property that actually needs the space and be done with it.
Maybe since you're hispanic you like the clustered living
That maintenance on the home is what was raising the re-sell value slowly lol
whatever works best for someone. I hope people can learn from this and see what's best for their situation
I absolutely hate living in an apartment. At the moment I don’t and am so grateful.
I have a mortgage now and I completely agree with her. It's a nightmare.
Same here. This has not been a good first experience and I don’t see it getting any better because of inflation. I would’ve been OK if not for inflation but this is now the American nightmare.
It’s cheaper to own than it is to rent in most paces
@@lisahardy2070 inflation actually helps you once you own. Your loan amount stays the same while the value of the house increases and the value of the dollar decreases. Are you a first level thinker?
@@paullowell3342 Not sure why you're being a prick tbh, it's true.
I don't live in the US, but I imagine we're all dealing with similar struggles. The cost of living is through the roof. I make just under 90k a year, I walk/take the train to work, I barely use my car to avoid paying 3+ dollars per litre of gas. I only use the hallway light in my house, use a hot water bottle for heating, I don't eat out, buy clothes, drink, go on holidays, or do anything remotely enjoyable because the cost of living is increasing, interest rates will increase once my fixed term rate ends, council rates have increased and so has car/home insurance.
My home being worth more when I have children who are in their 20s (if I can even afford to have them) doesn't do jack for me NOW. And I imagine that's the case for most people.
@@paullowell3342that used to be the case, not anymore. Recently got pre qualified for only 300k. I make 80k a year. My mortgage would be more than my rent now, and there is no way I could afford to buy in my neighborhood or buy a home nearly as nice as the place I’m renting. Buying should be an upgrade.
The best moment in being a home owner was when I could call a plumber immediately instead of waiting for the landlord to do it...
And how did you feel about paying that bill?
Hahahaha. Plumbing cost is a lot
Sorry the only replys you've got are from a couple kids. I totally agree, specially those late night calls. "Can it wait till morning?" 🤦♂️
@@FattSlapper I'm 62 years old, hardly a kid. And my maintenance is 24 hour . If there is a plumbing problem. My rent doesn't go up because the plumber was paid. I don't have to dip into my emergency savings to buy a new fridge or stove, or to get new blinds.
@@FattSlapperummm no. You call them kids so you can ignore their points. What they said was true. Renting is good because we don’t need to pay a ridiculous amount to a plumber that is ripping you off.
"more maintenance than expected" girl would rather pay rent than find a man.
guys, she’s not saying that this is the better option. she’s simply saying that this is what works for her. it’s not that complicated
As a home owner I agree with this
I bought a house Sept. of 2023 for $218,000 I live in Indiana and love the house. It has ALOT of cosmetic work to do, but nothing I haven't done before. I love owning my own home and the goal is to pay it off in 5 years.
It gets old
@@annemariesmith5459 So does renting and living with others. I understand that not everyone is cutout to be home owners, but I have understood and been prepared for the responsibility and security that comes with not having to worry about a landlords wills, whims, and rules. If I don't like something, I don't have to ask permission to change it. I am sorry for your experience with home ownership, but at 35 years of age, this is the best time of my life.
@@AzlandreI’m 33 and picked up my first house last year. It was in such rough shape it’s just now getting to the point where I can live in it. It was an incredibly dirty and rundown hoarder house. Finishing the interior now and then it’s siding, paint, new porches and landscaping. It’s kind of taken over all my free time, but it’s so rewarding.
Renting was such a bad experience I actually moved back in with my folks and paid them rent for a couple of years.
@americancapitalist9094 Congratulations! I understand needing to put alot of work into a house to make it liveable. It also allows the chance to really make the place your home. I'm glad the experience has been rewarding for you and once you actually get to start living in it, your free time will open back up. You've got this and I will be rooting for your success!
I never EVER want to hear her talk about being broke, EVER!
I bought a condo for the exact same reason. I did not want to have to mow a lawn ever two weeks.
Life must suck for ppl who don't like fixing things...
There is inherent satisfaction in doing certain projects. She's too busy acting like other people apparently....
Not everyone has to be (or can be) a handyperson. Also, her house was being worked on practically the entire time she was living there.
I feel you like truly I grew up on the show home improvement but
Llthis is the age of amazo
People cant even tighten one big ass bolt that is easy to reach with the simplest of tools. Met one last week tensioner pully on their lawn mower had come loose just one bolt was loose the bearings the pully absolutely perfect just the bolt came loose. They hadn't mowed in years.
Owning a home is like having a second job that can drop a multi thousand dollar catastrophe on you without warning.
Do you not understand how renting works too? I rent multiple properties out, and guess what? Every tenant is “secretly” paying me every month for these “multi-thousand dollar catastrophes” you’re speaking of. Only difference between renting or buying is bleeding the money into the property slowly or all at once. There’s literally about 500 bucks put into each lease of mine per month that gets set aside in my management account in case a hot water heater goes, etc.
True.
Who buys a almost $900k house for their first house?! She should have bought a starter house first! 🤦
rich young people who don’t have experience buying a house
"I live in a multi-million dollar hosuing complex, I dont need a home."
i’m 28 and have had my 1960’s home for 4 years now and it’s not bad, it helps when you’re handy and able.
landscaping though is annoying, weeds, palm trees, bushes etc.
I feel like if you are the type of person who actually enjoys painting, gardening, landscaping, upgrading your home inside and out, you'll love home ownership. But if you are bothered by those things home ownership will never be for you.
@@AVVVV777 Or if you have somebody else who does them things. I think for some women they will like if their man/boyfriend/husband is responsible for them things. And she can just be there.
@AVVVV777 That seems quite accurate. I personally and fervently enjoy living in my own Home as a young woman, alone. Taking care of the painting, gardening, etc makes me feel deeply satisfied and connected, profoundly, to my Living Space. I have completed an inordinate amount of Home projects and as I endure a lifelong Disability, I am immensely proud of myself. 🖤🏡
Taking care of my lawn and garden at my home brings me joy
I rather live in an apartment next to work and a vibrant community than a nice house in the middle of nowhere that nobody is going to visit.
I’m the exact opposite
Sorry but i love nobody is visiting, it works for me
Yea I can do without people.just peace and quite, no annoying neighbors yelling my kids are too loud or bug foot neighbors upstairs. Space for my pets to run and play. Also having I pool that is mine and I know some stranger ain't piss or shit in. I'm good
Maybe you won't get mugged by the vibrancy
I ain't gonna lie, living in an apartment, just dropping a phone call and any problem you have being fixed the next day or so is awesome, but I think owning you're own house is still better.
Yes our house was built in the 70s and there is so much upkeep involved. Our mortgage is very good but if our AC goes out, stove stops working, leak not covered by home ins, etc it's out of pocket.
As a landlord, I 100% agree you should always rent.......
Woah 😮
😂
Omg, STAHHHHHP EEEEEIOT.
Bru
Lol 😂
To each their own. I feel like if she got the right house in the right location though, she might change her mind. Having the freedom to do what you want to your house, have no pet restrictions, have no noisy neighbors above you, etc., makes a house INSANELY better than an apartment in my opinion.
Edit: tablet keyboard is annoying
Shoulda had a smaller house, sold for very little money, sold for $900K, THAT AINT LITTLE!!
That’s one thing I love about my apt. Everytime something breaks they fix it the day of or the day after. Even if I need a light bulb replaced 😂
Single women don't need to be pushed to buy.... happened to me too. Knowing no one to help fix stuff makes repairs and upkeep expensive
The price of feminism
She's wealthy though. I don't understand her point about being able to call someone to have things fixed. She could do that while owning a home too, the only difference is that she'd have to pay for it and they'd probably do a better job than the handyman the landlord would send.
It’s not like it’s any different for single men 😒
@@Rcp6368in my experience women generally dont want to try to fix it, especially if it looks “big”. albeit the problems she may have faced were probably bigger ones which needed more ppl and expertise and equipment a normal person wouldnt have. my mom grew up on a rural farm, but when i was a teen i did all the fixing, more than my dad bc i had the time. just youtube. what did i know? nothing, same as mom, but she didnt want to try even tho she had more experience at that point. same as the girls growing up, just staring at the car. they were smart (enough), but something about the engine and big old wheels just shuts them off. as if men are jacking up the car and pulling the bolts out by hand, just use the tools
Meanwhile when my dryer vent hose got ripped due to poor placement on the rental companies part, it took me 1 1/2 months to get it fixed. I had to do all my laundry at my parents. A different apartment the fan gave out over the stove. Another month before the landlord came over and then blamed me for breaking it, even though it was my first time turning it on (Same landlord btw that sued my roommate for damages on the property that were documented as being there before we both moved in).
Bought a house, and the only issue I ever ran into was the patio was poorly built. We bought the lumber and hired a guy to build a new one. That's it.
It really is a case by case scenario.
She's renting a luxury apartment
That also depends on where you live. In my experience luxury apartments in the suburbs tend to be worse since there are limited options and they are usually owned by the same company. At my buddy’s building they would never fix anything, and the building had serious mold problems

@@kimc555 you can still buy one you clown. This doesn’t mean there’s no additional expenses beyond the mortgage.
Yup, exactly why I’d probably never buy a house unless it’s my parents/my childhood home. I don’t have the money for maintenance.
No matter what, my dream will always be to own my own house. I spent years growing up, moving countless times- we were even homeless once. The amount of disrespect my mother and our family had gotten from landlords and other tenants was horrible. I can’t wait for the day that I finally have something more stable than renting.
