Rent vs. Buy

See whether buying or renting builds more wealth over time. This compares net worth — not just monthly payments — by accounting for appreciation, selling costs, rent growth, and what a renter could earn investing the down payment and any monthly savings. Find the break-even year, then print a client-ready comparison.

Rent vs. Buy
This is a simplified comparison prepared as a courtesy and is not financial, investment, or tax advice. It compares estimated net worth under each scenario using constant assumed rates for appreciation, rent growth, and investment return, and does not model income-tax effects. Real outcomes depend on market conditions, how long you stay, and your personal finances. Please consult your lender, CPA, and financial advisor. Prepared by Checkmate Real Estate.
