Cost of rental = monthly rent x 12 – after tax interest income from downpayment
Cost of ownership = after-tax cost of all payments (mortgage, property tax, HOA fee, maintenance) + potential depreciation.
Cashman, it looks like you’re comparing month against potential depreciation only.
Of course, your decisions may involve more than these numbers. As others have said — congratulations. All your options are good, so having some difficulty making up your mind is a good problem to have.
