As someone who intends on owning a house at some point, I can't help be 
think that this advice only works if you have nothing to lose, and no 
intention of ever gaining anything beyond your immediate cash means. Not to 
mention that apartment/house rentals are often tied to credit rating, for 
good or ill.   This is bad advice, Terry.

This is akin to burning down your home so that no one could steal from 
you... :-?
