Renting includes a number of financial and legal responsibilities.
Bad tenants can be a nightmare. I don't really want to risk having to deal with that drama.
Right now I'm thinking I'll just have to sell the house at a loss. Not really so bad. It won't be a tremendous loss and I have lived in 3 years. I guess in the end it would have been the same had I just rented.
Previous to this I did rent for a long time and hated that.
Buying a house ruined my life. I bought a house with my savings after the collapse. Got it really cheap (no mortgage). Only problem is now I want to sell it but can't.
There are no jobs around here.
I do have a crappy job. I could probably do better if I could afford to move away. I've considered just abandoning the property or selling it for basically nothing.
Buying sucks. As does renting. I've seriously considered van life.

I haven't yet read the book but I've heard good things about it.
It looks like it's a beginning programming book that also teaches cryptography.
