Is owning always better if property taxes cause your monthly housing payments on a 250k house to be $500-750 more than renting? If you add in maintenance, the amount is at least another $2500 per year. Rent goes up but so do taxes. At what point does renting win over buying or does it ever?
250k, 20% down, 11000 school and property tax =$1900ish
Rent 2 bedroom house/apartment =$1200-1400
