The Rent or Buy Decision
The question of whether to rent or purchase a residence is not always easy to
answer, especially when the time period over which you would own or rent a
house is short. This program performs an analysis which could be helpful in
reaching a decision. Essentially, it calculates a yield or rate of return on the
proposed investment. This yield may be compared with the yield obtained by
renting a residence and investing the down payment and monthly payment
differences in a savings account or other investment opportunity. This program
takes into account the tax advantages obtained by a home owner on property
taxes and mortgage interest.
First the program computes the Net Cash Proceeds upon Resale (
NCPR ),
*
next the
yield on the investment in the house and then the value of the hypothetical savings
account at the end of the investment period. A comparison of the NCPR and the
final balance of the savings account and a comparison of the yields should aid in
determining whether to rent or buy.
*
The Net Cash Proceeds upon Resale ( NCPR = sales price – commission – mortgage balance),
is the pre-tax proceeds. The program assumes that the buyer reinvests in like property and is
not subject to capital gains tax.
