The Great Recession, characterized by devastating
mortgage defaults, has challenged the conventional wisdom that home
ownership is a good investment, particularly for those with low and
moderate incomes. But the conventional wisdom on the benefits of owning vs. renting

the Brown School’s Center for Social Development and Michal Grinstein-Weiss, PhD. Homeowners with low and moderate incomes who participated in this
study conducted between 2005-08 achieved higher net worth than their
counterparts who rent. This research provides new and important evidence for the current policy debate on low-income homeownership programs,” Grinstein-Weiss says.
