There are also tax benefits (if you live in the US) with buying and carrying a loan, versus renting. There is also the option of buying a house, but with a 10 or 15 year mortgage instead of the "traditional" 30 year mortgage. It is eye opening when you see what small amount of your mortgage payment actually goes towards the principal in the first years of a 30 year mortgage.
