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

          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.
