Can't be stressed enough. If you can afford rent you can afford a mortgage. You're already paying somebody else's mortgage on property they don't live in, to build their wealth and assets so they can take more property.
"I have contributed around $160,000 to various landlords over the last 10 years as a renter. Never missed rent. Can't qualify for a mortgage. It's not about coffee and Netflix.
It's about a predatory system of housing that uses a basic human right as an investment opportunity."
