In his opinion, owning a home in a different state or area would make it more difficult to leave immediately in the event of unanticipated circumstances.
He suggested that renting a house would be a better choice for a non-native resident than purchasing land.
In his words;
“It’s better to rent than to buy houses, especially in another man’s land. If you buy a house, over time it [the place] gets crowded. [And] maybe you decide, I don’t like here anymore, e don cast; everybody know where I live now, I want to move to other part of the state or other part of the country.
You can’t just pack your things and go. First, you need to sell that house. Only God knows when you are going to sell because not everybody has money to buy a house. So, now you are stuck at this address, and you can’t leave. Freedom is an asset.
Freedom, the ability to pack up and disappear anytime. But if you rent, you can pack up and leave anytime.”
