My landruler is the coolest. She just told me not even to worry about paying a security deposit at all. Of course, my rent ain't cheap, but she's given me a break on lots of things like this and doesn't make me sign a lease and all that. And when I told her I was toying with the idea of buying a house and these bad contractors have really spooked me, she said I just needed to tell her and she could get me in touch with really good workers instead.
It's all about the social capital.
So here I am - thinking on the one hand I want to leave this crazy place, and on the other hand wanting to buy a house and settle in (though, we all know I could sell it in two years without tax consequences, and I've certainly done it before). Owning property is a great investment - I can house myself now and rent it out later. I know there are all sorts of potential problems with that, so I could even just sell it later and even if I break even I've gotten ahead. Now she's got me all thinking about it again. Sigh.
