Our Situation 25 year old graduate from Cal Poly Mechanical Engineer Starting salary $70,000 Salary increases 3% every year Has liquid assets for down payment Considering a 10 year period Location: Brea
Scenario 1 Scenario 2 BUY LEASE • SFR • 1,300 s.f., 3 bed, 2 bath • Purchase Price: $350,000 • Down Payment: 3% or $10,500 • Interest Rate: 5.5% • Loan Type • FHA with MIP (mortgage insurance) • 30 year fix • Lender, Bank of America • Annual Taxes: $4,576.32 • Annual Insurance: $800 Monthly Payment with Taxes, Insurance, and MIP: $2,500 • Apartment • 1245 s.f., 2 bedroom, 2 bath • $1,000 security deposit • Annual rent increase of 3% Monthly payment: $2,000
Assumptions Buying • End of year refund received from house deductions is put away into a savings account compounded at 4%. • Appreciation is assumed to increase at 3% per year. (based on historical average appreciation rate) Leasing • Every month, $500 is put away into a savings account compounded at 4%. • Inflation/rent increases are 3%
Scenario 3: Inflation Rate VS Savings • How low does inflation rate have to go where rent makes better sense?
Results Scenario 1: • In 5 years or less: renting is the better option • In 5 years or more: buying is the better option Scenario 2: • Renting: Available $ amount to put into savings decreases as payments increase • Buying: Tax deduction increases as your monthly payment goes up (as a result of interest write off)
Results cont. Scenario 3: • At 1% inflation rate, renting makes better sense- UNREALISTIC • 2% inflation rate or higher, buying is the better option
Summary: • Our calculations proved renting to be more financially beneficial over a 10 year period. • If, however you take into consideration the equity that is accumulated in our buying situation, then buying is obviously the better choice. • Equity is not considered a “liquid” asset until the property is sold or refinanced.
