      Well, point of fact, if you have a mortgage, your landlord becomes the bank anyway. You only get to own it after 30 years, and that is, if you haven’t needed to take out a home equity loan or other line of credit against your home to make necessary repairs.

        Well yes and no, in the sense that a landlord can evict you for reasons other than failure to pay rent (YMMV depending on your country) and in some places where housing is hard to come by, a financed house ensures that you won’t be evicted because the landlord wants to make yet another Airbnb out of your apartment.
