I fail to see why renting can be better than paying towards your own property and your own asset.

Needless to say, there must be a reasonable expectation of the appreciation of your property.

If you pay someone a monthly amount to stay in their property, compared to paying into the bond of your own asset, then what do you have at the end of the year, or years ? You certainly don't have an asset that belongs to you that you could one day very likely sell for a profit. And your landlord has increased his wealth at your expense.

As I've mentioned before, and as E_K_S has correctly stated, one of the most important aspects of a property investment is Location, be it Residential or, quite often as well, Business.
