Twice in my life we sold a house, took the gain, and moved to a bigger house in a better neighborhood.
Perhaps I should have given the money to the real owner
Hey that’s great. I’m not saying its a bad move. Just keep in mind it doesn’t always work out that way. What I am saying is that we are not being truthful to ourselves when we talk about home ownership, and that is the danger. We must get rid of perpetual property taxes and mandatory HOAs if we are to maintain the American dream.
