FOUR-YEAR DECISION

Rent payments versus the cost of owning

Separate the cash you spend from the equity you build. Ownership is not automatically the cheaper choice.

Open full comparison →
Equity through principal paydown$32,369

This portion of mortgage payments reduces the loan balance; it is not cash profit.

20% down payment$169,915
Modeled net sale proceeds$151,310
Adjust financial assumptions and see the comparison change

Enter a value within each stated range. Cleared inputs do not silently become zero.

Illustration, not a forecast or mortgage quote. The rent figure is a three-bedroom area benchmark (2026-09); $849,575 is the Boston citywide median sale price across property types (2026-07), not a verified Northeastern condo median. The two are not comparable property samples. Assumes 20% down; 6.71% fixed, 30-year loan (rate benchmark 2026-09-03); $200/month insurance; 1%/year maintenance; 2% purchase closing costs; 6% sale costs; and a sale after four years. No rent increases, opportunity cost of down payment, tax deductions, utilities or investment returns are modeled. HOA, appreciation and property taxes are adjustable planning inputs. Actual outcomes and sale timing can differ materially.

THE CAMPUS AREA

Find the neighborhood that fits your day.

Compare the streets, the campus route and the individual home—not just the neighborhood name.

YOUR NEXT STEPS

Underwrite the actual property.

An asking price and an area rent benchmark do not establish a cap rate or investment return.

01

Establish the income

Use comparable leases for the exact unit type and condition. Check allowed occupancy and rental restrictions.

02

Include the expenses

Model taxes, insurance, association fees, repairs, management, vacancy and reserves separately.

03

Test the exit

Compare a range of rents, financing costs and sale outcomes. Stress-test rather than assuming appreciation.
