Def depends on the housing market..
you going to a place where people are having problems selling homes..BUY...if you are going to place where people are selling homes for a good amount, then rent.
If grad school, can you get the school to pay for your dorm while you be a Assistant Teacher or something (friend did that). |

I think tyou should buy a house...
You can always sell it and get your money back...
That doesn't happens with rents.... |

In the long term it is always better to own than to rent - but a house is not something that you can generally flip quickly (unless you are buying run down homes/repo's etc. and fixing them up). Weigh the costs between renting and owning over how long you plan to be in that area. Look at the past few years of real estate prices in the area and see what you can surmise from the data about how the market will be in 2, 5 or more years. |

well obviously buying a house is a better investment and the deductions would be more tax beneficial. you'd be able to deduct property taxes and mortgage interest paid on your tax return. real estate is usually always a good investment that usually appreciates in value. |

It's nicer to buy a house than to rent if you rent you'll get problems of getting money, If you buy a house you'll have to pay just once, besides having a house will be considered as your property. |

I would rent at first. See if you like the area you are in. Once you buy a house you are stuck with it for awhile. If you rent and move into a bad area you could always move.
Once you find an area that you will be happy in, then buy. You could always rent out a bedroom to help with expenses. Depending on the area, your house could increase in value and you could make a nice little profit when you are ready to move to another state. |

that depends on how much you're willing to drop on a house. If you have enough in your budget to put a downpayment on a house, then go for it. In the long run, the house will be YOURS, and you won't have to worry about anyone (landlord) tearing it up from under you when the house is sold.
If you decide to rent, there are rules and fine lines you need to abide by, and chances are, you are often wondering if the landlord will hand you a notice to move out, in 30 days, because the house was sold. Then you'll have to worry about finding another location.
I would possibly choose to purchase a house, even you can put enough money down on one, with your family's support (financially, or independently). |

investing your money wisely is always a good choice if you buy the house you can always add to it and remodel it how you want it and ge tyour money back out of it and mabe even plus some vs. renting and you have nothing to show for it but if you rent and something goes wrong then they come out and fix it but if you buy you have to fix it but just think if you go to rent it out that is one less thing you have to fix anywayz and what are the chances something will be majorly broke unless you buy a fixer upper as they call it but trust me you will want to buy if it is possible for you and even after your done with school you can always rent the house out yourself and have the extra income coming in little less work on your part and you make your money back anywayz so I would say buy all day long have something to show for your money and make your money work for you ~best wishes Abby a fellow invester as of 5 days ago lol |

it largely depends upon u and ur family requirements . well but according to me u should purchase one no matter even if it will be smal but u can live in it in ur own way. without any pressure or u can say inspection all the time by the owner. |

As a student renting is not too bad of an idea since you don't have that much income anyway. The advantage to buying is that you save on your taxes from the interest you pay. |

Thats not such a hard decision. Its facts and figures, not emotions. First, the cost of buying the house, vs the cost of renting. Which will cost you more. Potentially the purchase, thinking of the downpayment and taxes and insurance. Next, how much more? Then speak to a local realtor and do a bit of due dillegence. How is the real estate market in the community? Is it flat, is it moving up, did it go sky high (thats how florida did). What is your exit plan after school. Will you want to sell the house? Will you rent it, or stay there. Selling it wont be a bad idea, if you have appreciation. Your primary home (I am not giving tax advice, I am not a tax expert, check with your cpa), your primary home, if you live in it for 2 out of the last 5 years can be sold with no capital gains on it. If your house goes up in value say, 30,000 in the 4 years you are there, just over a 7% increase per year (which is a decent increase, you may figure lower)...then when you grad school and if you find a buyer, you have 30K to begin your new life with, pay off debts, or truly, even better, use 20K to start anew, put 5 k into a retirement account, and use 5 K to buy a car.
Good Luck |

If you can afford to buy, do it. Remember, in 10 years your mortgage payment will be the same as today, but if you are renting, your rent will always go higher and higher, no matter what, thanks to Greedy blood sucking landlords. |

look for your plans...if it is long term then buy one,
if ur plans are short term, then rent a house |

If it was me I would buy. Renting is okay but your landlord could take the house away from you at any time so buying is better. And anyway when you rent all you're doing is lining someone's pocket. |

I'd buy. It would be an investment property that you could rent out after you graduate. |

How about lease to own? Then at least you'd be paying on something you could own. If you decided not to stay then when the lease was up you could move without consequences. |

Hey girl, you should rent. Ya only gunna waste your money if you rent... and believe me... you don't want your money in other people's pocket.... buying is better because you would own the property and it's yours to do whatever you want. The money would still technically be in your pocket since you own the property! |

If you enjoy and have the time to do the research on the market and make a good sound decision, you should buy. If you are not willing to invest the effort and time on doing it right than rent. |
