Condo - Rent and Invest vs Buy analysis

Description
This model was put together as a Quick and Dirty (Q&D) analysis compariing the relavent factors between choosing to rent and invest or buy.


As individual financial and life circumstances vary, and housing markets are subject to different rules and regulations across jurisdictions., this model should be used as a high-level, indicative framework to help identify and understand the key drivers influencing the decision.


Spolier - Both are valid options, it comes down to your timeframe and your assumptions on how property markets and investment markets will move.


Note: This analysis considers only quantitative factors and includes solely the costs that differ between the two options. It excludes any expenses or income streams that are common to both strategies.


Unnessessary paragraph
This long section of the downloadable best practice requires a 200 word count as a minimum to progress, which is unnecessary for this Q&D analysis, please ignore these unnecessary additional words as there is no way to bypass this requirement without writing a whole bunch of nonsense that does not add anything to your ability to use this model and understand the drivers of the two options, I hope that you find the model detailed enough to know that it is comprehensive but simple enough for easy understanding.
