With housing prices being so high now, I see a lot of comments about how a primary house is not an investment, it’s better financially to rent and invest the difference, etc This is sort of the approach we’ve taken since we can rent a place for 1-2k a month less than a current mortgage and invest the difference while not worrying about maintenance and repairs.
The last few years the housing market has increased at an above average rate though. I’m wondering if there is a scenario where the stock market tanks and home prices continue to rise?
