Renting vs. Owning

I think, is better to be owner than to rent. In my country, Colombia, buy a house is a good strategy of investment, probably the best strategy.

owning a house is a dream for everyone, 

I  own my house,

wish all of you can have a house.

I HOPE OWNING  house??

We rent with my wife a flat. We have paid almost 2000$ for 9 months. So as far we do that I starting to look out for owning a house.

i think owning  is better than renting. because no need to worry about landlords and the kind of happiness we have with our own house dont get in renting. ofcourse owning is most common in my country….... 

In my country is more common owning than renting =)

You know, this is the best lesson in this site,Realistic. 

fact, that everyone, I mean every single one in this world would like to have his own house, but as we say in here (we ran from the rain, and set under the drain).

No escape, the landlord keeps stalking you every month to collect his money but at least you have the chance to argue him and defer the payment little bit.

On the other hand, when you own your own house, the bank never being that forgiven and it will throw you jail if you don’t pay>>>

God why you don’t make me being BILL GATES 

It depends. If you like movin' and livin' every while in a new place or a new city, you'll prefer rentin'. If you have your own house, you'll stuck in there :) and routine is so boring. Sometimes, it is better to own a house in a good place :) ..

I think most young people are not owning houses over here. Also, you have to pay rent every year once or twice not monthly.

There isn't nothing better than you are your own "landlord" and you buy your own house or flat is the better thing…it is my dream now! I just rent a flat and it is pretty cool but in the same time I know that it doesn't belong me :( then each month I have to pay the rent and with that money I could be paying the benefits of my own flat :( But If God willing next year I will provide it ;)

I think it is better to have your own home because it`s not fun to have someone coming over every month to ask you for money, especially when economy is difficult. In my country it is more common to have your own place, but it is very common in the cities to pay rent.

owning is better of course =)

Owining

to own a house is better certainly, coz house is your fixed prosperity, it has home feeling and you will get married very hard if you don't own, so owning a house is very  important to chinese, and now i have owned a house. i think much many people owm house than rent it in china.

what is the problem abt own u house , if u cant not effort 1 , dont worry , u can buy 1 RV jejej , see the goog side , u can live wherever u want , just 1 downside, save enough money to buy oil bcs u'll need a bouch of it.

nice weekend !!!

owning a house got more pros than renting

in that you dont have to be committed to the landlord and deal with him every and each month to pay the rent due

I think that the better is own a home, but im my country more common is rent a home.

owning is better of course in Syria 

it all depends on your financial situation. if possible, it's supposed to own your house. i mean that paying  mortgage for yourself is better than paying rent for other one. also, you could gotta much bigger benefits from increasing of the property's value. 

of cause, everything has pros and cons. some people never plan owning a house just for their freedom of moving around.

In China, house is very expensive because everybody want to own a house. If you are a guy, but you don't have a house or houses, then it's hard for you to get a wife. I got good education and I got a well-paid job, but I still can not afford to buy a house. I live in NanJing which is a big city, you can not get a nice house unless you pay more than 1 million RMB. That is ridiculous.
