As a renter, one of the most frustrating aspects of borrowing my home is that I can’t make the changes I want. For example, recently I decided that it would be a wonderful idea to tear out the wall between the living room and dining room. It would open up the space and make the whole house seem bigger. However, since I am not the one paying the home mortgages, my landlord refuses to even consider the idea. Now my hands are tied. With the market being the way it is, maybe it is time to consider being a homeowner myself.
