Housing

Rent versus buy framework

Compare flexibility, cash-flow risk, tenure and costs with scenarios—not predicted appreciation.

Run several scenarios

Vary tenure, rates, maintenance, rent changes and sale costs. A single break-even output is not a decision rule.

Non-financial fit

Consider mobility, renovation freedom, disaster exposure and responsibility for repairs.

Educational only
