A tale of two renters: Apartment hopper
Although I’ve been a serial renter over the years, my housing experience in Los Angeles is similar to that of many homeowners.
We’re all building.
The problem is they’re building equity. I’m building debt.
Since 9-11, I have moved five times. For the most part, the rent hasedged up a little every time, forcing me to scratch out my previous budgets and convince myself that I can afford a few hundred more dollars per month.
