People always think that having your own house is always better than just renting. It has always been a dream to have a house to call your own but when does renting become better than buying???

It is better to just rent when you are not planning to stay in the country for a long time. If you have plans of going elsewhere then buying a property may not be a good idea as you only have short term plans and it takes lot of decision making in buying or selling a property.

It is better to just rent when you do not have enough finances to support buying a house of your own. If buying a house would put you in dire financial strain then you might think twice before doing so.

It is better to just rent when you and your spouse are having marital problems. Having a property would only add to the complications if you do decide to divorce.

Buying a house is an enjoyable experience so it needs thorough planning and financial stability.
