I have lived in 4 houses in the last 7 years no way I would be ahead of the game if I had purchased instead of renting. And who knows what house I would still be stuck in if it didn't sell when I was ready to move. Closing costs, real estate commissions, minor repairs, I just don't see it if you aren't there for at least X amount of years.
