It depends on what you're comparing. A crappy apt in a dodgy neighborhood or renting a house in a nice neighborhood. If you're renting that house you want to buy then you'll likely be paying the landlord's mortgage and then some. Generally it holds that mortgage is less for same type of property you're renting in equivalent neighborhoods of same geo.
