There is no denying that to
rent
 or to buy a property is a controversial matter that has been discussed for several experts in finance from our society. Some investors claim to buy a

 is not a good deal because it would be a liability

 of an asset, once it only generates expenses.

 people say that to have your own
house
 is the best choice because you will have a
place
 to live regardless of what could happen. From my own standpoint, I believe the benefits of having a property are greater than the drawbacks. The

Moreover
, we know that law is pretty strict to people who do not pay their lease and the landlord will require the

 of debt.
Consequently
, there is a high risk to be without a home to live in

 of money issues. Another advantage is that we could rebuild the

 your option is pretty limited due to the reason you will have to return the realty exactly the way you found it. Another benefit of purchasing a

 is that you will not need to leave the

 the landlord requires you to do that. A disadvantage of owning a

 are much better than to
