Rent vs Buy — is renting really cheaper than owning a home? In Part 2 of our Rent vs Buy series, Adam Rose explains the real financial difference between renting vs owning, focusing on equity, inflation, and long-term wealth building using a clear 10-year comparison. This episode breaks down why renters build zero equity, while homeowners can create significant net worth through principal paydown, appreciation, and stable mortgage payments. Adam also explains when renting makes sense, when buying is the better financial decision, and why time in the market matters more than timing the market. In this episode, you'll learn: Rent vs buy explained with real numbers Renting vs owning over a 10-year period Why rent payments build no equity How homeownership builds long-term wealth How fixed mortgage payments help protect against inflation When renting makes sense based on life stage and career How home equity can be used as a financial safety net If you're asking "Should I rent or buy?", this episode gives you the clarity and financial framework to make a confident decision. 👉 Watch Part 1 for the full cost breakdown 👉 Subscribe for weekly mortgage, housing market, and home-buying insights 📞 Questions about buying a home or improving your mortgage readiness?
