Anyway, Kohler's book may help clarify how some of these legitimate strategies could help you solve the overall problem of cash flow and your personal balance sheet.Don't think of it as rent vs buy, think of it as all the possibly ways to use, manage, leverage, and conserve your resources employing your current assets and effective proven tax strategies (not scams but conservative real options for savings).

If you have not even targeted an area and are asking very broad questions like this you are going to have a very hard time finding any agent willing to dedicated some time on you because odds are they could spend that time much more effectively working with another type of buyer.

What effects do you think it will have on real estate currently owned and realestate you purchase in the future.Here's a link to an article where China and Russia have agreed to no longer use the US dollar for trades between them selves.http://www.ibtimes.com/china-russia-currency-agreement-further-threatens-us-dollar-248338
