When I was in college an finance professor lectured about the differences between renting & home purchasing, he said renting would be more advantageous from a $$ point of view--backing out taxes, interest ,repairs, improvements, selling & buy expense and the big one is lost opportunity to invest because so much $$ are tied up in a non liquid asset

Personally--I never looked at a non liquid asset as an investment,
