Lately, I've been hearing a lot of talk about "friends with benefits" and "open relationships". To me, this really sounds like a clever way for guys to get your "goodies" with no commitment. Now don't take offence that I used to the word rental "property", ( I know that we are nobody's property but God's) this is just a way that I use to express the relationship between men and women.
Stop and think about the difference between renting and owning a home. When you allow people to rent, there is no commitment, people can come and go as they please using all the benefits of the home without putting any real investment into it. Most of the time it's up to the landlord(which is you) to maintain and keep up the property, to fix whatever is broken, and clean up after the tenant has moved out and left your place a mess. These "rental" relationships often are the same way as we allow men to have full access to our property(sex) without any real commitment, giving them the freedom to pay month to month and leave when they find a better place to live. Break-ups like rental properties often leave you a mess inside, and depending on how bad it is, it may take you months to repair the damage that has been done.
Owning a home is much different. It takes commitment and sacrifice. For those who work average jobs, saving up a 20% downpayment on a $500,000 dollar property is nothing light. When a man owns a home he invest in it, he makes sure the outside of the house is presentable and the inside has beautiful furnishings that make it comfortable. He also plants SEEDS for flowers, and stays around to nourish them and make sure they grow beautifully. This house is a representation of him, and he has to make sure it is well taken care of and protected. When he is looking to BUY a home he doesn't just take whatever is available, but he takes careful time looking for a suitable house to live in. When he buys that house, he is commited to staying there long term because of the INVESTMENT he put into it. That house (depending on what he is looking for) has all the amenities that will help him live a more enjoyable life.
I am not for rent. This property is for sale, and if you are not looking to buy, don't knock on my door. Just know that if you are planning to buy I will make sure to protect you from the rain, keep you warm when you are cold, and I have all the amenities to make sure that you are well fed and have a peaceful place to lay your head at night. In order to get the keys to this house you must come with a shiny round downpayment, and sign the contract when I have accepted your offer and closed the deal.......
So ladies I ask again, are you a rental property or an estate? If you decide that you don't mind renting, by all means it is your personal decision, but please stay out of my neighborhood......your bringing down my property value......just a word of advice.
