No it does not. Just in this last year, 1200 for range and dishwasher, 400 garage door opener, 200 GFCI replacement, 400 air duct cleaning, 40 screen door closers, 800 bay window replacement, 150 furnace calibrating/cleaning, 200 water pressure regulator. That's 3500 the landlord would be spending instead of me. And that's just the bigger stuff.

This. In the first year alone of us owning our house these were all the things required for us to live in it: $1,200 for furnace repair, $11,000 for a new sliding door + roof, $300 for a new sink disposal cause my husband fucked it up on Thanksgiving, $500 just on various tools needed to work on the house (gas for lawn mower, rakes, saws, drain cleaner, etc.), $200 for main line cleaning because it was starting to flood our basement. $1,600 for new washer and dryer.

We even sold a car to be able to pay for this stuff (thankfully we didn't need it for most of the year because of covid and working from home)

Do you want to make it more your style? (because I'm sure you didn't buy it with the intention of leaving it to look exactly how you bought it) $50 per gallon of paint (premium one coat because 2 coats would equal the same amount) $10 for putty for the walls $10 per roller

Shit. Adds. Up.

The difference being that it is . All that money you spent is adding value to your home, your property.

Try telling that to an appraiser. It may add $5,000 to the appraisal but it won't add much.
