    i’ve literally paid more in rent for my small apartment than the entire (5 unit) building is worth. i crossed that threshold years ago.

      Yeah, you could buy a pretty decent house in an attractive part of the city for what I’ve paid in rent for various small apartments over the last ~25 years but there’s literally no chance I’m ever going to be able to afford to BUY real estate.
