Owning your own home

Buying a home is an investment like any other.. look at the return it gives you and work out if its the best option for your money.

The fact I'm explaining the concept ROI on a thread for people about to make the biggest investment of their lives really shows everything I feel is wrong with the current system.

Please google return on investment

Baring in mind I've been putting together ROI models this week in my job of course I know what that is. But first and foremost for most people buying a house it isn't an investment, it's a home. Somewhere that doesn't have a tangible value as an asset unless you want to turn it around quickly.

Mine wasn't an investment when I bought it - I bought it to live in.

B&D right on the money again. Well played for sticking with the place as well.
