Re: Renting vs Buying a house
Financially I think you're almost always going to be better off buying. The big exception to this would be that you're not planning on staying very long (I'd say at least 2 years).
Just so you know there's also a hybrid out there called a "lease-option". It kind of like rent-to-own but since each seller sets them up differently, some of them are actually okay deals (some of them are HORRIBLE deals, so you have to be careful). If you're interested in knowing more, reply and I can let you know more.
