You're never too young or too old to buy a home!

If you are considering whether to rent or buy, take advantage of this accurate and easy-to-use rent vs. buy calculator.

This calculator analyzes specific factors related to renting versus buying a home, such as:

1. The monthly rent vs. monthly mortgages cost
2. Appreciation of a home vs. increase in monthly rental rates
3. The cost of maintenance in an apartment vs. in a home
4. Renter’s insurance costs vs. homeowner’s insurance expenses

Once you've input the numbers, you will learn:

1. The total cost of rent over an equivalent period of a home mortgage repayment term
2. The estimated future home value based on appreciation percentages by the time a mortgage is paid off
3. The down payment to be placed on the home when taking out a mortgage
4. The total home cost over the term of the mortgage itself
