    If they’re covering your mortgage, these people are buying you your house. Owning a house after a decade or two, even if you really did have nothing else earned in the meantime, is massive profit leeched from others.

      So your problem isn’t housing,. It’s capitalism. Car rentals, hotels, Airbnb’s, banquet halls, churches, even parking lots are no different from what I’m doing.

      Also, I don’t sit around and do nothing. I had to replace the HVAC system last year that cost me 25k. Replace the range and continue paying the landscapers to maintain the house.
