      And the fact that those payments are technically going to yourself and the ownership of your own equity.

          There’s these things called banks. And many states have first time homebuyers programs that will help with the down payment.

            I basically bought my first (only) house for 0 money down with first time homebuyers stuff. Ya I had to pay mortgage insurance for a while but my mortgage payment is less than what it would be to rent the same house by like, a lot.
