when you get old with a long term visa they kick you out due to age and health liabilities. and if you’re stupid enough to buy a home, there’s no guarantee that home is owned by you after they kick you out for good. moreover if you can’t go back to live in your home which you have fully paid off, what’s the point of home ownership thru’ mm2h? may as well rent on short term 30-day or 60-day visa-free status. monthly rent is many times cheaper than a monthly mortgage.
