Does it account for things like opportunity cost on the down payment or tax deductions for mortgage interest, or is it more of a straight cost comparison?
Does it factor in things like opportunity cost on the down payment or rising rent over time, or is it mainly a straight cost comparison?
Would love to see a side-by-side breakdown that factors in opportunity cost, like what you could earn by investing the difference between renting and buying costs. That would make the comparison way more realistic for people weighing both options seriously.
Plugged in my current numbers and was surprised how different the long-term picture looks once you factor in appreciation and tax savings. Clean, quick, and actually useful.
Love how cleanly it lays out the inputs side-by-side so you can tweak both scenarios without losing your place. The appreciation field is a smart inclusion too, since most people forget how much that swings the math over time.
the way it factors in appreciation alongside the usual rent and mortgage numbers is a nice touch, most calculators skip that. Clean layout too, made it really easy to plug in my numbers on mobile.
