Do you think it's better for someone to buy in 2026 or rent?

It's hard to say, dude, because obviously every market's different.

So if you're in the Midwest and buying and renting are the same price and everything else,

because there are markets like that.

I would always say buy.

You're in Las Vegas or California where the difference could be $1,000, $2,000 between rent and buy plus the down payment, the maintenance, all the stuff.

Unless you plan to live in that house for a really, really long time, I would say you probably should rent.

Really?

Yeah, because even then, too, right? Let's just say the difference is a thousand bucks, which it is, which it is in a lot of cases. Your alternative is you save the thousand bucks and you invest it. You can invest it into Bitcoin stocks. You're not going to invest in real estate because you could just put in your primary if that was the case, right? You kind of like putting it towards, you know, owning it one day, right? Or you invested in a business. And my argument has always been, well, you know what, you could start a wholesale business, right? You have a thousand a month. You can start wholesale business with a wealthy investor. So it's like, would I rent and have a wholesale business that could make me, you know, X, probably I would take

that versus like just owning the property. Yeah. And you have less, you have way more flexibility,

right? A year from now, your situation changes. You can leave. Yeah. What do you think?

It's tough because growing up, I'm only 34.

So, like, growing up, the dream was to buy a house.

Yeah.

Since I got a job, my very first job, I was like, I want to save up to buy a house.

I want to buy my mom a house.

Like, that was the goal. So it would, it would, I'm biased where I believe. Even if it's like a thousand, two thousand, where you're going to buy it. You're going to buy it. I get if someone doesn't have the money, then it's, it's kind of like, you don't have a choice. You don't have a choice. But if you had the choice, But if you had the choice, if I had, let's just say I only had 50K in the bank account and I could rather spend that all on a house on a down payment and pay $1,000 more, it would be really tough to make that decision right now if that's what I was working with. I don't know if it would be better off to use that money and

start a business like you said. Like even the house I live in right now, I would probably save like

$5,000 a month if I rented it. Yeah. And some people would say you are kind of renting it because

the bank owns it. And most of your payment goes to interest so you're not even really like well and the reality

is too even if you haven't paid off you're still renting it yeah because if you sign your property

taxes yeah you lose it yeah but your property taxes are going to be you know thousands of dollars a
