How do you compare renting and buying fairly?
Comparing only mortgage vs rent isn't fair — buying adds a down payment, taxes, and maintenance, while renters can invest the difference. This tool invests the rent-vs-mortgage gap in the market so both choices start from the same line.
Who is this tool for?
Anyone weighing whether to buy, or wondering what happens if the money renting saves gets invested. It won't tell you whether to buy a home — life and family matter too — but it translates the financial gap into real-life changes.
