Risk… you are exposed to the risk of decreasing property values if you buy.

But as a renter, you are exposed to the risk that your landlord won't have your deposit when you are ready to move out. To me, that seems like a bigger risk.

You know they at least own the house that costs more than what they owe you, so in a court you can probably regain your money

I don't know much about the system... is there an escrow service? Insurance?
