3 year lease on rental house

I understand I would have to mow and do other minor stuff and I would be OK with a $75 or so retained fee. I just
don't want the hassle of the bigger stuff.

Since we have been in our current house for a long time our interest portion of our mortgage payment does not provide a tax break (we don't have any other deducations) compared to the standard deduction.

I also feel our current house is just to big. Soon our only child will be moving out and the whole one side of
the house that has three bedrooms will all be empty.

I guess I am lazy and just really looking to simplify my life but still have the privacy of a house.

Nothing worng with that, just don't say "I don't want the maintenance issues". I can almost guarantee a landlord will look at that as a negative.
If they ask, tell them this part

if you are worried about the "big stuff" buy a warranty.. But it will still be more costly in the long run..

I would not give being a home owner over simple things like this..

It all comes down to simple math, is it cheaper to rent then buy.. and in our area its much much much much cheaper to own then rent.. even if your AC goes out and you don't have a warranty..

I think the current rate on a 30 year loan is in the low 3 percent for a 30 year.. BUY!! dont rent..

Now if you were living in CA, id say rent..

My current house is leased and about to get renewed or back in the market, would love to have a 3 years lease term agreement. I am currently looking to buy a larger home in Frisco, maybe you have the house that I am looking for
