I have a place to live, a nice yearly tax write off, appreciation, no idiot neighbors that trash the apartments in which they lease, and there were no renovations which I had to make, as I bought it 2 years old and it was completely upgraded from the floors, to the paint,the upgraded cabinets, to the back yard.
Sure I pay a little more than I would if I lived in an apartment, but the perks outweigh the downfalls in my case. I love my home, and investing in the happiness of myself and my wife is good enough for me. Selling at a profit in 5-10 years is also a nice perk, and I wouldn't necessarilly have to buy up. I'd probably actually move from Vegas to a smaller city, thus making my real estate money work for me.
