Real estate transactions are some of the most important in our lives. Why do we have to rush them?

I spent a lot of time researching areas of the city where I wanted to move. I had looked for years but started to figure out the areas I liked best a year before and narrowed it down to one highly specific part of a larger neighborhood area. Then it was just a matter of finding a house and I knew new build had to be the answer because it was the main way to get a modern house. But I was in a hurry sure, I saw the place under construction and I signed the documents within 3 hours lol.

There's a decent chance your 2019 mortgage will net you money when you sell in 5-10+ years. There's 0% chance that you'll get any of your rent money back when you move out of the 2011 mortgage landlord house...right?
