LendingTree's Senior Economist and report author, Jacob Channel, had this to say. 


"Homeownership can bring with it more stability than renting and therefore can be seen as an especially appealing goal for single fathers. That said, single fathers should recognize that buying a house isn’t always the best idea, especially if doing so will leave you seriously cash-strapped or otherwise make it hard for you to make ends meet. Remember renting a house you can afford is better than owning a house you can’t."
