What is better to rent or buy?

✅ Buy - Long-term investment. Have property.

Fits people whose income is relatively stable, long-planned, do not want to move often. The installment is to turn expenses into future property, but to be ready for installments, repairs and long-term expenses.

✅ Rent - more flexible, heavy initial load-free

Fits people who still want to save money, are not sure about work or location, monthly expenses are clear, easy to control, do not have to bear a large debt, have to save or invest otherwise.
