I think a big one is what if you buy a house and you dont like the neighbors for whatever reason. With renting you can move away but with a house you are more likely to stay in that bad situation. Overall though I say buy a house. Corporations are buying up all the houses and it should be ILLEGAL. Our government needs to step in and ban companies from buying up so many houses.
Im undecided between buying or renting a house. Im leaning more or less 50-50 atm, but my fiancee is gently pushing for buy (with my money of course, she pays for our meals and pays her own way but she doesnt have money to significantly contribute to buy a house, she cant even replace her 10 year old car that keeps breaking down).
Im thinking if I buy a house I apparently like but then once I move in I end up disliking something about it and/or my marriage goes south, Im gonna be stuck for a while with the house and lose some money when selling (the house would be in my mom´s name to protect it in the event of a divorce). If I rent and something happens the contract ends up in a year.
Im sure there are a bunch a pros and cons on the subject of buying vs renting I havent even considered yet. I would appreciate your advice/input bros
Also, of course your fiance is pushing for YOU to buy a house...with your money...and your money will pay the bills, since she can't even afford to buy a decent car to replace her existing old one. Add to that marriage, it's a big pay day for her in the event of divorce....a 50/50 chance...I wouldn't do it.
