You never really OWN a property in the US. There never comes a day when you don't have to make government payments on that property anymore. If you don't pony up every year they will seize it for payment. It's like renting but you can have a dog [licensed] and paint the bedroom purple; unless you bought in an HOA then you can't do that either.
Renting has other advantages, if the neighbors become shit and you hate the place, with 30 days notice you can pack up and go somewhere else, you're not stuck with the financial burden of a house with bad neighbors.
Believe me, even if you live out in the country there are bad neighbors. And if they too own their property they are probably never leaving, and will piss you off for the next 30 years.
