22 Homeowner Regrets That Make Renting Seem Just Fine

11.

“I bought my house seven and a half years ago. While I don’t hate my house in general, I hate the parts of it that are broken. My front room is riddled with leaks and water intrusion that absolutely no one can find. NO ONE! This has been an issue since about five months after I bought the house. I also have to replace the entire downstairs flooring because of popping tiles. I love the location, but the house itself has so many issues. I feel like I just keep dropping money to fix an issue that no one can find.”

“I don’t regret buying the house, but maybe how I went about it. I was so excited by the prospect of moving out of my rental property and away from my horrible roommate. I may have jumped the gun a bit. I’m so grateful to have a roof over my head, but this still really sucks. If I would’ve stayed renting, I wouldn’t be responsible for any of this garbage, but here we are.”
