What would you do if you lost your job and couldn’t find anything in your current location?
In the current high-interest market I’d probably rent out the property and rent something else wherever the job is located. But then you have to be willing to be a landlord. Some people aren’t.
As I said to someone else Futher down, I recognise that I’m privileged to have been born and live near the capital of a very centralised country so I never really need to worry about moving for work as I’m already where the highest wages are. I just got so miserable as a renter moving so much and never feeling like I had an actual home I couldn’t go back to it now I’m settled.
Got it. That’s just not the situation of most people. They have to move for a job or live in a terrible situation. I’d move in an instant rather than live in crap.
As someone who had to move 5 times I four years due to landlords and am now in my seventh glorious year in my own flat, that sounds mental.
