💡 Rent vs Buy Decision Guide
• Rent is better when: Low property appreciation and high investment returns
• Buy is better when: Expected property appreciation and long-term residence plans
• High mortgage rates significantly increase buying costs
• Rental deposits have opportunity costs (potential investment returns)
• Consider non-financial factors like stability and lifestyle
