Compare projected cost of renting vs buying a home over a holding period, anchored to LIVE market mortgage rates. Given home price, down payment, monthly rent, and a holding period, returns year-by-year cumulative cost of each path (rent vs PITI), equity built, net cost of owning after sale, and the breakeven year where buying becomes cheaper than renting. If no rate is supplied, the current best market rate for the state is used. Use for 'should I rent or buy?' questions.
