About Derek

Derek Huang has rented in four cities, owned one condo he should not have bought, and sold it at a modest loss that he considers expensive tuition. He now writes about housing decisions with the measured tone of someone who has made a few bad ones. His coverage focuses on renting strategies, reading a lease, understanding what buyers actually face, and the surprisingly emotional experience of calling a place yours. He is based in Chicago and is renting again, for now, and is perfectly fine with that.
