Buying a house while renting means keeping your apartment lease active while you search for and close on a home. Instead of moving out before you've secured a property, you maintain your rental so you have stable housing during the process. Why rent while buying a house?

Peace of mind: You can focus on the home search without worrying about short-term housing.
