I bought my first house for zero down at $69,900. Closing costs were about $3K. It has been rented every day since 1985. It was a wash for the first 10 years (paid off mortgage) and averaged a net return of about $10K per year for the last 20 years...or about $200K It is worth around $200K now...ao, about $400K return over 30 years on a $3K investment. What is that, around a simple 16.5% annual return and almost an 8000% total return if you don't count interest/earnings I could have earned on the $10K per year for the last 20 years if I invested it in the S&P or another house?

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
