Would you say its dead money renting

Red Hand · 03-10-2012 09:06PM

When you're dead, it doesn't matter either way.

dave1982 · 03-10-2012 09:07PM

How much you paying , for renting dead money.

Victor · 03-10-2012 09:07PM

Bank interest could also be viewed as dead money.

shopaholic01 · 03-10-2012 09:07PM

I didn't know money died, nor do I understand why anyone would want to rent it.

Yea, but mortgage and property tax are deader money

dave1982 · 03-10-2012 09:09PM

Depends on when you bought your house, If you bought in boom I'd prefer to be renting.If you can afford to buy a house now I'd prefer to be paying my own mortgage besides the landlords.

Sometimes rent is dead money
Sometimes rent is not dead money

(inspired by UCDVet's post on the negative equity thread)

I prefer to buy my dead money outright. That way it's really mine.

B.A._Baracus · 03-10-2012 09:18PM

My view is that it comes down to the individual and certain criteria.

- Do you have the money to buy a house? If you do, by renting all you are doing is paying for someone elses mortgage or giving someone income. That is "dead money" by definition. But of course if you dont have the money to get a house. You would be mad to get any lasting mortgage these days knowing you might loose your job.

- Vastly important also is, how much is the place you wanna buy? we've all learned from the mistakes people made with mortgages with the recession.

Back on topic: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1546801/

you can probably rent it in your local xtravision, alternatively dvds are quite cheap to purchase these days.

It's the price of freedom.

We should revert back to a cave men lifestyle. Go hunter gathering and live in a cave no expenses then.

Defiler Of The Coffin · 03-10-2012 09:24PM

Now if you were just throwing your money into the bin, that would be dead money

But then you're stuck with a house. You have to wait around for 30 years to pay ait off, if you want to move it's a hassle.

Renting, I pay for what I need and when the mood strikes me I find somewhere better suited to my needs.

Owning a house is like being nailed to the ground.

What are the levels of home ownership in other European countries in comparison to Ireland?

B.A._Baracus · 03-10-2012 09:37PM

If houses where much cheaper I would like to look into buying a house. WE had a family home till the parents split

usernamegoes · 03-10-2012 09:42PM

I wish we had more of a culture of empty renting here; I hate the stuff Landlords ram into places here.

Also, I'd like to be able to do stuff like add a kitchen to the style I like. Hard to do in a renter, perhaps if we had more of a professional landlord system with longer term renting.
