The weird thing, is that it's actually a rational decision.

My own mother in law left a legacy of nearly a hundred boxes of tin foil because of the rationing in World War 2, when it was on sale she bought it. 

., the fact that you spend all that time rationalizing the situation to make yourself feel like the agents should give up money means that you KNOW that you just didn't execute well on this deal.

Sometimes that makes a personal connection that's emotional, which always trumps rational.

and they were not giving out samples and they closed the food court.. so just there probably 10 to 15 people did not need to show up for work and lost wages. there was no TP or paper towels and water was being rationed at 2 cases each. 

If you are planning to live in a unit, you may qualify for a high-ration mortgage (10% down) or as a CMHC first-time homeowner (5% down).If you are talking about true multi-unit properties (5+ units) you will be dealing with the commercial lending folks at any of the Big-5/6 banks or at a credit union.  

My attempt at a comparison is below.Background on existing rental:Value:~ $400KEquity: ~$250K Original Downpayment: ~$25KPrincipal paydown: ~$7K/year (loan has 15 yrs left)Price to Rent Ration: .47Cashflow: $150/monthThe thought would be to take the equity and buy several lower value, but better cash flowing SFRs in a market such as Kansas City.

For those that think that rationing couldn't happen here in the US, it already is with Medicare.

The rational is the same as switching more stocks to bonds as you get older, you have a lower risk profile because you don't have the time to make it up.

My guess is that the OP, 22 years old, is looking for rationalization for NOT going to college.
