We wanted to purchase a home that would be large enough for us to stay and grow in for the better part of the next decade. It became apparent that there are some unique challenges of being a young landlord. Younger landlords attract younger, and less responsible tenants, which caused our friends a lot of grief.

Years ago, we rented a unit in one of two quadruplex buildings owned by our landlord. To save some money, we asked the landlord if we could start a vegetable garden in the area outside our unit. The landlord also let me pick some of the seeded concord grapes growing up the hill. Here’s how we saved money on rent.

That did teach us a lesson about home ownership: that it was something we were taught was a mark of being an adult, but really, when you “own” a home, unless you’ve paid off the mortgage, the bank is your landlord and you’re just renting. Also, growing our own food. We rent now and are much happier.
