Chat is like Renting, Documentation is like Owning
When deciding to Rent V.S. Buy a home it's hard to really know which you should chose. Let's talk about some of the tradeoffs.
Rent
At first Renting seems awesome! You're provided with ultimate flexibility! You don't need to go through a complex process to get a loan and sign all the paperwork, you just have to sign a year contract which is far easier. And when it's time to move you can easily just switch houses without having to find a buyer. You're only tied down by your contract and even that is often negotiable.
You also have less responsibility of the home itself broken things will often be fixed by the owner with just a call.

Owning
