My little spreadsheet... simplistic but enough to give ya'll an idea on quantifying your respective "investment" perspectives. I chose a 15yr time period for a $600k house versus $2k/mo rental, and in order for the rent versus buy to be equal, the home equity must increase by almost 60% whilst investments stay at 7% (or lower) consistently.
dagnabbit... I had copied/pasted but I guess it doesn't work too well...
