Well That Was Quick

Do not buy a house right out of school. Renting can seem like throwing money away, but it gives you the ability to drop everything and move somewhere else if you want to. We rented for about a year and then bought our house. Every once in a while both me and the wife kick ourselves for buying so quickly. The equity we have built is great, but we could have lived in a few places before settling down somewhere permanent.

Per the lemon law, the situation seems to have worked out better than any lemon law outcome would. Lemon law cases take a lot of time and they are not obligated to buy the car back. Most of the time companies settle out of court and send you a check leaving you with the car.

My father in law just settled with Volvo for 11 thousand fucking dollars because his XC90 has gone through 3 sets of rotors in 3 years, numerous wiper blade arms (how does this even break?) and some issues with the radar system. It took over a month for this and they still have the car. In his case all the rotors have been covered under warranty and the warranty still stands so it worked out for the better.

I guess my thought is that this property will be my "home base", but I also will have the ability to travel with the advent of RedDoor or AirBNB to rent out the property while I'm traveling either long term or short term. 

Also, if that's the case with the lemon law where he got a check and a to keep the car, that sounds um...amazing?

I can't even imagine how much a headache renting out an AirBnB would be over normal renting. I can't stress enough that it is not as easy as sitting back and cashing checks.
