We'll help you figure out the best choice
Depending on how fast prices and rents rise and how long you stay in your home, you may be better off renting rather than buying. You must factor the difference in monthly rent versus mortgage payment, home value appreciation, annual rent increases, the interest rate you will pay on your loan, your marginal tax rate and the yield you might receive on savings. When looking at these factors, consider the present value of each option. The one with the lower present value will be the better financial choice.Disclaimer: The accuracy of these calculators and applicability to your circumstances is not guaranteed.
