Default Re: Buying a home then renting it out

I agree! I also think that the folks debating about when to buy, etc. need to think along the lines of ..Is TV the place I want to retire? If so, buying then renting now does make sense. We will not be FT for at least 3 yrs like stated but enjoy the fact that we got the house,price and village we wanted. Of course, ANYONE who bought in 2006 wishes they had waited for price reasons, but no one I have spoken with regrets buying. It is a personal decicion and it does make good sense tax wise.... Good luck, it is a hard decision! My opinion, and you know what they say bout them!) is keep looking until you see the house you just love, then buy. You cant go wrong...It took us 2 1/2 years of looking to buy....
