What is the most important factor in deciding to rent or buy?
The most important factor in deciding to rent or buy is how long you plan to stay in one place, since the upfront cost of buying and eventually selling rarely pays off over a short stretch no matter how good the deal looks today. Monthly cost matters too, but timeline drives whether ownership has a chance to pay off at all. Brian Beatty asks every buyer about their timeline before talking price.
