Sometimes, it makes sense to rent instead of buy. π€― (You read that right) I took my wife and kids out on a pontoon I rented today. It broke down and we were floating around for several hours. But my level of stress was pretty close to zero. We went swimming and enjoyed our time out there while waiting for someone to tow us in. If it was my boat, I'd be stressing about the cost of the repairs and how to get back to shore.
The same goes with home ownership.
I know every Realtor has a graph to convince you otherwise. But think it through with your own financial situation and don't let your agent make that decision for you.
Accounting/finance is what I went to college for so I'm more than happy to work through the numbers with you.
