What to do...
rent vs. buy:
For most homeowners, house
payments are their largest
monthly expense. This dissuades
many renters from
buying a house because
they assume they can’t afford
the house payments. It
may actually be cheaper to
buy than to rent. If staying
someplace more than two
years, it is usually best to
own so you build equity and
write off your mortgage
interest.
