I will tell you my reason to own a home, large at that, even though I am single. I have seen friends/coworkers have to move after leases were not renewed. I have seen friends/coworkers lose put up with stuff about their rentals I would not tolerate as an owner. Sure it go fixed, but damn. I have also seen them held hostage to rising rents just to renew. Yeah it can be more expensive at times, more work definitely, but I never have to worry about someone else deciding they don't want me living here.

Absolutely. I guess lots of people, myself included, choose renting over buying for the main reason that they might find themselves not living in their current location in a couple of years. For me at least, that is the price to pay for the freedom of where I live. I know that once I find a place to settle down I will consider buying, but until then I will rent.
