    Sure, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. For me, it’s about flexibility. And I put a crap ton of money into the house that I will never see again. Just regular maintenance, landscaping needs, etc. Thinks you don’t have to think about or pay for when renting.

      It’s basically finances vs convenience. By renting you’re paying for convenience. But you’re taking the hit in your finances.

      And just because you’re renting doesn’t mean you’re absolved of the landscaping fees. If you rent a house it’s expected that you’re still mowing the lawn and paying those expenses. Otherwise you live in an apartment where those costs are handed down to you through rent.

      There is a lot to consider there but in the end you’ll be spending more money which you’ll never see again by renting.
