Not necessarily that simple.

Depends on rental rates in their area vs prices, rental vacancies, how much of their mortgage payments would be going towards equity/interest vs rent which is all gone, what they think the market will do over the next 5 years.

Every market is different, but property values can change considerably in 5 years.
