    I could make mortgage payments standing on my head considering what I pay in rent. It’s the down payment that’s the killer for me.

      Aside, it is absolutely fucking insane that rents usually far exceed mortgages. The rent does need to account for the lack of liability for depreciation property damage (like, if your apartment floods you’re not on the hook to replace your floor boards) but in a lot of markets it’s become entirely detached from reality.
