Tell you what, Matt, owning your own home is very overrated.
I'd owned for a lot of years, but actually losing my house was strangely liberating.
It got to the point where I felt like the house owned me rather than vice versa.
Constant repairs, mortgage hikes, the need for more space...
And the fact that it's so hard to move house! Withe renting, if I get bored here (as I tend to do) I can find a new place and go live there! The downside is not owning a place to live when I retire, but I'll worry about that later.
