The Rental Estimate is $16,970/mo. The cost of home ownership: The Property taxes are $4,573 /mo. Insurance is $1,628/mo. Interest portion of the loan is $20,522/mo. In summary, the cost to own the home $26,723/mo (NOT INCLUDING PAYING INTO EQUITY, DEPRECIATION), which is $10,000 more per month than it would be to rent this same home. As a renter, you take that extra $10k/mo you are not spending on property taxes, insurance, interest, transaction fees, and investing that into the SNP500.
