Expanding on this, if you want an unorthodox housing situation or have a non-standard family unit, renting can either be prohibitively expensive or impossible.

For instance, there's the Tiny House movement which all but requires you to own your home in most areas. On the other end of the spectrum, larger families (4 or more children) will often find that rental units cannot accommodate them because of local regulation regarding # of rooms per occupant
