University of South Florida: What ownership costs should a parent compare with rent for a Tampa-campus student housing decision?
DIRECT ANSWER
Compare the rent and lease obligations with ownership's property taxes, homeowners coverage, possible separate flood coverage, and hurricane-related deductibles; Florida DOR and the state Insurance Consumer Advocate explain these tax and coverage components. This is a comparison checklist, not financial or tax advice.
