Sorry to hear about that, Snowshoe. For short term, renting is always better. It takes money to buy and sell and you don't know what your future holds. If you meet someone else and decide to buy again, it costs a lot of money to do. You have no upside in buying in this hot market, maybe in a down market you do. But even in a down market, you probably will be just a little cash flow positive buying than renting. I know because I own a rental condo for the last 5-6 years.
