True, but I want 5+ acres and a hobby farm setup ideally as the girlfriend has horses and I want space for car shenanigans. So unless I can find that for rent cheaper than buying (which I haven't yet, usually its a $1000+ month delta), its better to buy; plus the write off helps me a lot due to my tax bracket, uncle sam gets a good junk of me due to renting right now.
I'll start the process either way this spring.
