Default Like a car lease.

I'm curious to hear how this business plan works out.
I suppose it is a great concept for some, for me I never could grasp the lease thing.
When I put down money I want it to be mine so I can take care of it the way I want it to be cared for and look at it and say I worked hard and this is what I’ve got to show for my labor.
Now on the other side of the coin, for the same reason I would try not to buy a leased vehicle. You never know how good, or how bad it has been treated. If I’m going to drive a car I know I’ll be returning I’m certainly not going to give it the same attention as I would something I own.
