If you move to a different city every few months then yeah, probably.

If I was moving every few months, id just stay in Airbnb's or corporate housing. Any more than that I'd get a mortgage. Housing inflation post 2008 has always covered my closing costs that it makes sense to buy and sell over renting always.

Eh, you're extending the good reasoning of 'if you plan to stay more than a few years, buy' a bit too far. There absolutely be good reasons to rent unless you intend to live somewhere long term. Even then, some vhcol locations it never makes sense to buy. You gotta do the math.

Sorry if it wasnt clear. Shortest amount of time i stayed in a place was 1.5 years. Housing inflation covered the closing costs each time I sold. Ill never rent again considering how bad the cost of housing is.
