I don't know renting at reasonable price, doesn't feel more stressful to me than owning.

I could and probably will take a loan for apartment. But if there is market downturn and I lose my job and the value drops I might even lose the place and still have debt left over... Also I'm on hook for any large scale maintenace that housing corporation decides collectively to do. And this can be like half of the value of appartment. Plus as it is corporation I'm possibly also on hook if other shareholders(owners) fail to pay their share...
