Should I rent or buy? Overview

Should you rent or should you buy? Some say that renting is like throwing your money out the window and at least when you own a property you are building equity in the home with each payment that you make. Whether you should rent or own depends on many different factors and goes way beyond just looking at mortgage rates because with owning a property comes a lot more financial responsibility than just the mortgage payment.
