Interesting how the article never discusses single men. Why would a single man want to own a house to live in by himself?

Why would a single man want to own a house to live in by himself? EQUITY and Investment.

Yes, men don't know how to live alone.
I'm single and I recently bought a house. That doesn't mean I would never get married!. If I do, we could buy a bigger one and keep this little house for rent.

Why wouldn't he? Why pay all that money to a landlord if you can afford a house.

Some people who would be happy in an apartment get a house to make their dog happy. So the cheap Fido winds up costing them big indeed.
Single women who want to marry ought to at least get out of the house and circulate rather than sitting on their own green acre watching TV. In an apartment complex, they can go to the pool or gym and meet folks. There are some big advantages to apartment life.

Why would a single man want to own a house to live in by himself? Investment and tax benefits, just to name two.

"Why would a single man want to own a house to live in by himself?" Besides equity, appreciation of investment, and tax benefits, landlords are for suckers.
Owning your own house before you make another mistake means your next ex-wife can't take it as marital property!

Why would a single man want to own a house to live in by himself?Because I am almost 30 and getting tired of paying my landlord's mortgage.

Why would a single man want to own a house to live in by himself? I don't know either. Who would clean it up?

Many reasons. ESPECIALLY prior ownership to marriage.
If anything, I advise my male clients to buy a house before marriage. Thus they are on the hook for only 1/2 the increase in value.
