I feel like there should be a difference between "rent" and "mortgage rent" (programming.dev)

Since the housing market looks like a crowd of people just signing mortgages as fast as possible just to then turn around and charge that mortgage plus a little bit.

I shouldn't pay someone's mortgage like seriously this is just adding an unnecessary problem to the real problem of "living somewhere"

I am guessing but probably about half of the cost of rent is related to true costs and the other half related to the financial mumbo jumbo of capital opportunity cost.

Just based on my experience owning our house.
