Buying is like marriage...You're a winner...in it for the long haul. If you want to upgrade and give your spouse something even better, you can sell and use the equity, and any appreciation in value, towards a better buy.
Renting is like dating...Maybe you'll stay, maybe not...Not good for investing purposes...as you get zero value on return....just a whole lot of memories...good or not so much.
Thanks for this post!
Peace.
