Do what works for you.
To call it a scam is short sighted.
You have to consider a person's personal goals.
Everyone doesn't want to be tied down to a house/mortgage
I don’t have a mortgage. I rent a home and it’s way more bang for your buck than living in these new DC apartments. Harder to find but It’s just simply better.
I pay less now for a 3 story home with a big back yard in DC than I was paying for a one bedroom apartment in a brand new complex. If you look hard enough you can find a dope house to rent. I terminated my lease early in my last apartment because so many issues. We were 3rd people to move in and they didn’t have their **** together. Ended up having to get laywers involved.
So I’m jaded from that experience which legit seemed like a scam. The apartments look good on a tour and have good amenities but it’s all down hill once you move in. Everything cheap and breaks and so many issues with the building from rushing the construction.
You’ve seen these come outta nowhere in DC in NE, waterfront, everywhere really. They are trash man but that’s just me.
