I bought my first house when I was in my early 20s with interest rates comparable to what you can get now. I'd call it my number one best financial decision I've ever made and I could trace back tons of great things about my financial situation to that house purchase--everything from the profit when I sold it to the benefits of keeping my housing cost low when rents were shooting up. This all despite the fact that having an actual house is so much better than dealing with apartments.
The person they interviewed in this article is just stupid. Bought a house and won't even live in it? I mean really?
Probably listened to Boomers bang on about houses being an "investment" that only goes up.
They are investments that only go up, but you're supposed to live in it as part of the value proposition.
