What's better? I really, REALLY want to move out with my gf. We live about 30 min apart from eachother and the hike going back n forth between our homes is a major pain. We both still live with our (extremely annoying) families. And i know you're all probably gonna say to just stick it out but my patience and sanity is running short..
So what's the better option? Getting a rent-to-own house? Or renting an apartment/condo?

mortgage is pretty much the same price and sometimes cheaper than rent but you have the cost of home ownership such as property taxes and having to repair stuff yourself.
honestly there is no "best" option, they all have their pros and cons.
It's easy. One of you buys the house, and you do a legalzoom or whatever rental contract with the other that includes half the bills and mortgage. Don't do this unless you want to keep the house for at least five years.
