I’m wondering why they are renting ? they seem to be able to afford to buy.

The Chargers aren’t going to be in L.A. very long.

Yep, with a $13 million 3 year contract, this dude can easily afford to just buy a house. Wonder what’s up with this situation????

NFL players get traded, injured, cut or move due to free agency frequently. I believe the home owner doesn't want to rent to families like this NOT because their are black, but because they are football players. BlackElk (R.I.P.) used to dabble in the rental game in New Haven, CT, and besides the regular drug dealers and gang members, the worst tenants he knew of (not his) were professional Jai Alai players. Jai Alai players are not black, but they are young, their money is new, and they tended to spend their time partying at high volume and tearing up the front lawn with ATVs, a general nuisance. This NFL players is likely a better bet if he has a wife and children, but the rest still applies, including the resources to make legal problems if you have a disagreement.

He could be cut in training camp, or suffer a career ending injury. It's risky to buy until you are really secure. So you rent until you have a reasonable certainty.
