Summary of Renting an Apartment
Though there’s no investment potential in it, renting is still a wise choice for many people. There are many hassles you don’t have to worry about, the costs can be much lower than owning, and you can still work on creating wealth through other means. Also, you’re not stuck in a home that you cannot sell.
