Buy when mortgage rates come down.

Rent to own

Definitely rent now. If mortgage rates come down, buy but only if it’s a better investment than putting your down payment into the stock market (once you factor in cost of rent vs. home maintenance costs, interest, tax breaks, etc.).

Depends on the location

And price

Rent to own! How big is it, btw?

Additional Posts in 30s & 40s Singles

Female here. Had a very successful first date recently - several hours long, interesting conversation, great chemistry. I felt a special connection and thought it was mutual. It’s been a long while since I’ve been excited about anyone and thanks to corona, it’s been a while since I’ve been in male company period, so I really want to accelerate things (see each other again soon) and not play it slow. He declined my offer to meet up today and didn’t seize the opportunity to make alternate plans.

Still struggling a bit w breakup from early December. I posted earlier abt the guy who wanted me to dress femmy/sexy and ignored my issues. 3 months. I made a list of the top 5 reasons it wasn't working out for me and still I'm second guessing myself. I did break up by phone and felt good about it. I clearly told him the reasons. He called back abt hour later and ended up yelling at me about Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn's style and saying he wouldn't call again. Cont'

SF 47, been texting guy (49) for a week, plan to meet tomorrow. The texting is getting too much, good morning and good night texts. I consider anyone from an app a stranger until meeting in person. Over the course of weekend, he's sent 3 YouTube songs with "love" in the title (Etta James). I am feeling more and more uncomfortable. He's coming off as needy or desperate, huge turnoff for me. I have slowed my response rate. How to deal with this?

34/M here. Had an uncontested dissolution in October, shortly after began dating someone I’d met a couple months earlier. She’s 35/F - I think she’s absolutely fantastic and we’re a wonderful fit. Asked her to move into my apartment with me last week - she’s in agreement but others have told me to “take it slow.” What do you think, am I moving too fast?

Question time! Two part. 1) What dating sites or apps are you on and 2) do you feel like it’s been particularly tough dating in your 30s/40s during COVID, assuming that we probably date (on average) more seriously than 20s peeps? I personally have only been on one date! A zoom one last week.
