Both scenarios use the same housing budget. The lower-cost scenario invests the monthly difference at month-end. The renter initially invests the down payment plus buying costs. Home sale costs are deducted at each year-end comparison. Returns and growth rates are assumptions, not guarantees. Tax deductions, tax on investment gains and automatic PMI are excluded; include estimated insurance costs in annual ownership costs.
