Even if basic mortgage payments are triple what renting a much nicer place costs? Where i live.... the housing market is out of control. Rent is pretty high too - but housing is insane unless you want to live out in the country and not have a very nice house. haha

I guess my point was that the money i'm saving by renting can be put into other investments that will grow in those 2-3 years. The amount i'd be putting into a mortgage in that time isn't really going to create a lot of extra equity for me. Especially since it seems like we are way overdue for a correction/possible crash soon.

When things really crash, then I'd feel much more open to buy. Right now it's just a sellers market where I live though.

Thanks for offering your thoughts and adding to the discussion/conversation!! You are always great about that @mainos12345!!
