Should You Rent or Buy?
Choosing between buying a home or renting a home is often a big financial decision each with its pros and cons. Use a financial calculator like the Rent Vs. Own Calculator here to directly compare the cost of renting against the cost of buying!
The calculator looks at these basic variables:
- Property Information - Purchase price, estimated maintenace, HOA fees
- Mortgage terms - Down payment, interest rate, length of mortgage
- Estimated Property Tax & Insurance - you can find property tax rates at county central appraisal sites (www.DentonCAD.com; www.DallasCAD.org; www.CollinCAD.org)
- Rental cost for comparison
The Rent vs. Buy calculation breaks down the cost of buying a home, comparing the estimated monthly payment against monthly rent while taking into account the build up of equity through principal reduction and appreciation when you own!
