| Jul 7, 2013 at 1:50 | comment | added | Paul | True. I suppose when I read the question as "borrow for a home vs pay cash" I filled in the missing 3rd option "don't buy -- rent". | |
| Jul 7, 2013 at 1:45 | comment | added | Chelonian | @Paul I'm not sure what your comment has to do with my question, at least directly. I wasn't asking about owning vs. renting. Is there something I'm missing? | |

| Jul 5, 2013 at 19:28 | comment | added | Paul | To know that owning is once again better than renting involves some real estate market forecasting that will often devolve into mere speculative opinion. If I were in the position to make a rent vs. own decision I would make some pessimistic assumptions on "owning". Unless you have job security (e.g. tenured college professor), you never quite know how long you can stay in a community before the economy will force you to seek work elsewhere and move accordingly. | |
