It’s still a better deal to rent on shorter timescales.
I’d have to run the math again but because of things like realtor/legal fees (speaking of leeches, realtors are the absolute worst) last I checked it was in the 2-3 years range where renting made more sense than buying. That depends on the market too of course. Any significant repair costs or depreciation in that time makes the break-even point a bit longer, shorter if the value goes up enough.
Yeah, the whole moving every 3 years or less? That’s ALSO something that most people can’t afford.
You’re sounding like you’re very much arguing from a place of privilege that you aren’t conscious of. And no, realtors aren’t the worst leeches, that’s still landlords.
