Here is what you are missing, 400k INTEREST ONLY LOAN!!!!
Look, I am considered a contrarian on these boards lately because I have an optimistic view of the future and have put today in perspective of where it falls in the last 20 years. I am not a “real estate is always bad, we are going to hell in a handbasket” guy. And I think you are talking yourself into bad math.
Interest only is nothing more than rent with risk. Use my formula, or at least use the fully amortized piti and ignore the tax deduction, it gets roughly cancelled out by maintenance and upkeep.

February 19, 2010 at 12:20 AM #514838AecetiaParticipantOr buy a cheaper home. Personally I think anything is better than renting. The only person you help is your landlord. I have only rented under dire circumstances, as in when I lost my house in a divorce. In 5 years a lot can change. I suggest you listen to some of the posters who provide math models like the above and really think about buying rather than renting. You are still better off than those who bought in the bubble years. If it really hits the fan, we will be worrying about food more than rent as in, harvesting our own. That would be a whole new set of worries.

amen to that!
and similarly, minimum payment on an Option ARM is worse than rent with risk – it’s rent with a death wish
