I dunno the last house I owned was a 40,000$ brick house corner lot with a detached 2 car garage 1000 sqft and a dry finished basement.  
The mortgage was 288$ a month.  
I now pay 750 a month rent (nicer area) for a small 4 bedroom 1 story house with a garage big enough to fit a car in, if you only open the drivers door 1/2 way.

Owning \> renting.  
But if you ever wanna move, breaking lease is sooooooo much cheaper and easier then trying to sell your house.
