We rent an apartment. I'd love to own a house, but it's just not in the cards right now.

We own our condo. Looking for a house to buy now and will rent the condo since we can't sell it in this market.

We own. We're probably going to sell in a few years and will rent. I'm over home ownership! Want the freedom to pick up and leave whenever we want.

Renting...I was hoping we would buy soon, but DH and my dad had to knock some sense into me in that you don't lose money by renting a house. Boo...because I'm over renting and our house is really small! (1200 sq feetish)

We own our home. Here it is cheaper than renting.

We rent a two bedroom duplex. Houses are so expensive in our area. Plus I like not having to fix things when they break.

After renting for many years, we just closed on our first home last week! It's a bit scary since we're used to having others fix the home issues we've come across, but we're excited to have a place all our own.

Own. It was important to us to own property before having kids.

Own. I'm not a huge fan of owning our home, but it makes sense financially since rents are skyrocketing in our area (as are home prices...).

Renting...I wish we knew if we could buy. DH's job situation keeps us guessing each year....

we rent a 3 bedroom bungalow. We'll never have enough for a down payment, good enough credit for a mortgage and the house prices in our area are insane. I'm good with renting.

Own. After 14 years of renting, I love the freedom and control of owning.

We own a one bedroom condo that I bought when I was single and we own our house. Fortunately we have a great renter...we would like to sell but the market sucks!

We rent a 2-bdrm apartment. There's a good chance DH's job will be relocating him in the not-distant future, so we don't want to buy yet.

We own a house and I like owning over renting...but I wish we would have saved for longer so we could have afford something we really loved. I feel like we're making mortgage payments on a house that isn't worth it....

We own, the o ly upside to this horrible real estate market and economy in MI...

We own a three bedroom home with a big backyard. I love it!! In fact, I just painted my front door turquoise today....one benefit of ownership!

We own... although sometimes I wish we rented so we could have more flexibility if we wanted to move or something.

Our last two homes were apartments and we rented. Our next home will be military owned so I guess it's more of a rent situation there too.

We rent now, but plan to buy in a year or so. I don't mind renting, we don't have to worry about maintenance and if something breaks I call the management company. It was a lifesaver that first year after our son was born, esp. when the washing machine needed to be replaced.
