RE: Hello, I'm a designer and a geek

Welcome to Steemit, from someone also in your neck of the woods.

Real estate in Oslo does seem like a tough and almost pointless investment here, but everyone just does it. I just rent, moving here a few years ago. It's even worse in NYC where I am from.

Upvoted and following!

Thanks!

I've been owning since the early 2000s, but with the recent government regulations, it's impossible anymore. (Funny thing is, my monthly rent is high enough to cover a mortgage for the same type of apartment, but banks aren't allowed to grant a loan to me).

On the other hand, I'm actually kind of looking forward to living with the financial freedom of having a solid bank account balance!
