Getting to mow, shovel, salt, weed, rake. Then getting to paint, repair, and fix the interior to, after you worked on the outside on all your free time.

A houses job is to fall down. An owners job is to keep it standing up.

I miss renting. And bad neighbors? Complain to the land lord. Bad neighbors as a home owner; move? (And start all over fixing up some other place).

I also don't believe in flipping a house- I'm planning on staying- a house is not a way to make money.
