Renting Vs Buying: Absolutely No Contest

[temeculaguy]

rent vs own calculators are kinda tricky because they ask you determine the annula appreciation. If you use case shiller, there is no appreciation. To make it easy, use this formula, when the asking price is equal to or less than 150 rent payments, you can start looking, when it hits 125 look real hard, at 100, it’s a no brainer. If you are paying 1500 a month, 150k=buy immediately, 187k, look real hard, 225k, that when you begin to shop but anything more, rent. The hoa, taxes, insurance are roughly offset by the tax deduction so just go with a pure rent multiplier.

You may think it is not possible but investors shop with numbers, not emotions. they can find 125k multiplier properties elsewhere, so that is where they are going to go, not 200x multipliers. If they wont buy and you wont buy, the price goes down, it really is that simple.

rent doesn’t consistently go up 5% a year. My rent went up last year only 2% and this year they have agreed not to increase the rent at all to keep me from leaving because there are just so many rentals out there and not enough tenants with good credit.

My rent has gone up exactly 5% every year for the last 8 years. Archstone. Count me in the few that never bought, and should have back in 2000…I thought it was too expensive. lol

We’ve been fortunate, as our lease expired 15 months ago, but our rent has not changed. Buying our house would bump us up $900 just from P&I.
