    Yes, and my rent covers literally all of them.

    So, nothing’s keeping you from buying a house then, since what you already pay in rent covers all of the cost. Right?

    I should not be forced to pay a premium for a feature I will never use.

    Why haven’t you bought a house already, then? Could it be that it doesn’t just cost what you pay in rent each month?

      Do you reckon I’d qualify for a mortgage with my <$30,000/year income and my zero credit history? If you do, I might actually look into it

      Could it be that it doesn’t just cost what you pay in rent each month?

      Do u reckon every landlord is renting out their houses for a loss??? You get that that’s what you’re implying, right? Like obviously my landlord is better equipped to handle a big expense all at once, but that’s because the cost is amortized across many many months of my rent payments.
