Have you ever bought a house? I have. I do <i>not</i> want to go through that process every time I move. Plus, while I have purchased a house before, it ended up being foreclosed on and I certainly couldn&#x27;t get a mortgage now (and I shouldn&#x27;t... I can&#x27;t afford a mortgage). I would be pretty SOL if owning a house was a prerequisite for not being homeless.<p>How is commercial property treated?<p>What prevents a company building a huge apartment building, &quot;selling&quot; it to an apartment manager (in the form of a very expensive mortgage) and then having the apartment manager rent out &quot;rooms&quot; in his very large &quot;house&quot; to cover his mortgage?<p>In short, the longer I think about the idea, the less practical it becomes.
