When Does it Not Make Sense to Buy?

[Dusty Register]

Good Evening Everyone,

I'm still relatively new to the forums and the concept of REI in general, but couldn't imagine a better forum to pose questions/solicit some feedback! My fiancee and I are getting married in October, and are weighing the pros/cons of buying vs. renting. Here are the facts:

1. We are looking in a relatively expensive area (suburban Atlanta).

2. We plan on moving to a new city within the next two years.

3. We have been pre-qualified and have enough cash to match a 20% down payment.

4. We know little to nothing about fixing up/adding value to a home, but are more than willing to learn!

5. Rentals are in high demand in the areas we are interested in.

Given the above, does it even make sense to purchase a single-family home now, then rent it out via a Property Management Company when we move?  Or should we solely be focusing on finding a property to rent for ourselves, so that we don't end up without a home come October?  

Thanks!

Dusty
