The tax man takes a cut of money you get from creating things, but money from living in a pile of bricks is tax free.

The tax man also (depending on the country) levies stamp duties upon purchase and annual property taxes.

Owning a house also generally means low liquidity (should you want to sell), money going to repairs that you could otherwise just forward to the landlord and the requisite of putting up a deposit (money that can't be invested in say the stock market -- meaning you lose out on yield).
