I have only owned, I’m on house # 3, I also owned a condo so technically # 4. I should’ve bought a few years earlier. Moving house to house costs money, but you make it your own, can’t do that with a rental.
My current house is by far my favorite and I’ve been here the longest, 10 years now, I have a ton of equity I couldn’t imagine renting this entire time. I refinanced 3 years ago with a 15 year mortgage it’s nice seeing the principal go down every year. On a 30 year loan the first 5 years the principal barely moves.
