Exactly. You can own outright and it still costs a couple grand to turn the key given what you described. A homeowner always has to do something. I’ve been on both sides of it. The difference down here is when an Ian or the like wipes out the rented property, you just grab your stuff and move on to the next rental. In my book that’s maintenance free living in this demo. Owning later in life isn’t as big a deal as when you’re younger. There is no one size fits all way to live. Different needs, lifestyles and considerations...for different people
