• Someone else does your repairs
  You will not have any unexpected expenses.
• renting is cheaper than owning:
  You do not have to come up with a large down payment
• When you buy a home prices can go down
  When you are renting you have less worries of all the responsibilities of home ownership including the loss of equity if the home values do go down.
• When renting you get to really know your neighborhood
  After living in the neighborhood you will be able to make sure that this is the neighborhood that you would eventually want to purchase in.
• You can save for a down payment.
  When renting your payments will be lower than if you purchased with for example only a 10% down payment and these lower payments will give you an opportunity to make additional savings to use on a down payment when you find the right home to purchase.

The bottom line is that there are also advantages to purchasing a home but in the opinion of Cannon Real estate Carlsbad property management if you do not have a substantial down payment and proper reserves to also give you flexibility that I described for renters than you are better off renting at this time and saving for a larger down payment.
