I find that if you are able to stay in one place long enough it actually will make you money to buy rather than rent. Why throw the monthly payments away when you can actually get some equity out of them? And tax write offs, and you can officially be a gentleman?
I hear ya, and I know the benefits. Long story short, I was a homeowner for a long time, then my back comepletely failed on me, I couldn't really work for a while there, had to give the place up....lost a ton of money. So we went back to renting. It was nice. I liked not worrying about anything! I just wasn't in a hurry to get back into this wild housing market. Luckily the decision was made for me, no one wanted to take a risk on us becuase of our two very sweet dogs (one being the pit bull that I mentioned). Anyways, we bought again and it's all in the past now.
