The oldest argument at every dinner table.
Rent, or
buy?
Every dollar of rent is gone. So is the interest, tax, insurance, upkeep,
and the fees on both ends of a mortgage. Only principal and appreciation
come back to you.
Drag the inputs. Watch the number decide. Estimates, not advice — the conclusions, as ever, are optional.
Set the terms.
Where the money goes.
Side by side.
Net cost over the hold — everything paid, minus everything recovered. Shorter bar wins.
