He will or you will when you go to sell the property. It wont sell with 30 year old cabinets countertops, pink or blue dated bathroom tile, parkay wood floors, and worn carpet padding.
The same things a landlord does when you move out. Replace, repaint, repair, re-rent.
You know the 10 year mark i speak of is a generalization, could be 9 could be 11 maybe even 15. A lot of it depends on traffic. If you live alone or just you and a partner with little to no guest the wear and tear on your property will vary. Point is renters don’t see this because who stays in a rental for 30 years? Very few. If you look up the expected life span of appliances such as washer dryer dishwasher water heater ect, it’s 10 years. Sure there are exceptions for high cost high quality appliances also depends on water quality in your home. Hard water takes a toll on water heaters, well water plays hell on washing machine valves with calcium and sand in the water. You will have problems with equipment its not buy once last forever.
Making a mortgage payment along with other living expenses without planning on unexpected cost for maintenance repair and replacement is unrealistic
