I think this will make a lot of people landlords and renters at the same time. We will rent out the house we have mortgaged and be renting a house that someone else has mortgaged. If a lot of people are put into this situation I can see things getting real messy real quick. One renter not paying rent for too long and a domino effect may occur.
I sympathize with you. We are not homeowners and have never been, even though we could easily afford to own. Up until recently, people always looked at us like we were crazy. Not such a crazy idea anymore.
