I would say anything over 50 times you should rent. At 150 times your talking around 30 years or so to pay off vs rent. This analysis makes no sense.

Not only is this market bringing out the renters and turning them into first time home buyers, this market is truly bringing families together to help purchase homes. I mean this in a literal since, dads, moms, brothers, sisters are helping their loved ones by co-signing on loans so they can qualify for a home loan. It makes perfect sense to do it, because, again, depending on your area owning a home with a mortgage is the same if not cheaper than renting. So some of these FTHB need a little helping hand to push them over the top. Depending on where you are in the country, your title is absolutely correct.

Especially if you're a first time home buyer, it seems like it's worth it to try to get a place of your own as opposed to renting.

That is a point I always stress to first time home buyers in the Woodstock area. Rentals do have great points though. For people that need a place to live for the short term, it does't get any better. The tax deduction incentives are huge for owning a home.

After selling enough land for 800 new homes in Pierce County, I was becoming worried that once again the "average" wage earner could not really afford a basic homw. I was also surprised at how many types of loans were available. It was looking as if anyone could qualify? As a former award winning real estate agent for Century 21, I could see that many families really couldn't afford what they were buying! I am thankful that I sold LAND only. Now I don't have to watch a bunch of my clients lose their homes to forclosure. Larry of Mt Rainier Properties LLC I don’t know who started the 150..200 rule, but it definately still works!

It really makes sense when you think of it. Interesting concept — The 150 / 200 rule! It really makes sense when you think of it.
