The big take away I got from this is that if you can qualify for a good mortgage and are actually going to stay for 5+ years it is almost universally cheaper to buy then rent. Even in the high priced towns like NYC, San Fran, and Boston.

Daisy, does this take into account costs such as maintenance, home repairs, etc or is it strictly financial in terms of rent payment v. mortgage payment?
