      How? Mortgage is the same risk exposure as rent with a “landlord” who holds even less responsibility to maintain the quality of the place than in a rent arrangement.

        A loan is not the same thing as rent, see the other response for a start on details.

        No.

        Rent will be a bit higher than comparable mortgage payment.

        A mortgage payment actually ends one day.

        If you move out, you get to sell your house and get a lot of money “back” compared to renting, maybe more than you put in even.

        Even without selling, you have “equity” you can leverage to have secured debt at very attractive rates.
