Your mortgage payment can often be cheaper than your rent payments. If your waiting until the rates drop, you'll be in an insane amount of competition to get a property.
If you buy now, you can then refinance at a later date and get literally $100k's off your mortgage. The downside is that your gambling on interest rates dropping.
