In some countries, people prefer to rent a house than buy one. What are the advantages and disadvantages of renting a property?

There has been a controversy about the advantages and disadvantages of renting a

house

. I think, on the

one

hand, it's convenient;

on the other hand

, it has some drawbacks. My reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs. Let's talk about the advantages

first

.

First

, it has great flexibility. For people who are single and young, renting a

property

seems more lucrative than buying

one

. Their lives are still not stable yet; they might constantly change their jobs;

therefore

, they can easily change their living places and live wherever they want.

On the contrary

, if you buy a

house

, it can limit your job range, and you could lose many " opportunities."

Second

, renting a

property

can make sure you consistently have cash. Compared with buying a

house

, you don'

t

have to pay a large amount of

money

at once if you only rent

one

.

Hence

, you always have

money

on your hands, and

this

money

can be used to do some meaningful things,

such

as using it to do a small business or saving it at the bank. As a consequence, you can earn more by exploiting

this

money

, and your life can be less stressful. At

this

point, if you spend all your

money

buying a

house

, you will probably live under multiple pressures, like a

house

loan.

On the other hand

, renting a

property

has some disadvantages as well.

First

, you can'

t

really own your dwelling place. An apartment always gives people a sense of belonging, but if you only rent

one

, you don'

t

feel here is your real home.

Besides

, it's possible that some landlords don'

t

allow tenants to have pets. Under these conditions, renting an apartment doesn'

t

let you feel at home.

Second

, your kids can'

t

receive a proper education. Take China as an example, your children are only qualified to study at the local schools when you buy a

house

here; if you just rent an apartment; your children can only study at some migrant schools. It's quite well-known that those migrant schools are not good at teaching. In conclusion, renting a

property

has advantages and disadvantages, and how to define it depends on individuals entirely.
