Renting vs Buying a Silicon Valley Home Calculator

Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. When does it make sense to rent vs buy? Should I ever buy if I live at home or have a rent controlled apartment?The biggest mistake I see people make is not factoring the increase in rent over the years along with long term appreciation of the Bay Area. You can see that if you plan to live in the Bay Area for 2-3 years, it makes financial sense to do so. If you are transient or don't play to stay in the Bay Area for the weather, lifestyle, or job opportunities, it's best to save money for your next residence where you plan to live.Share this video and my calculator with your friends!https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vJ1augKGbxgahEdO8oWIDYhvdyoVyGhKMKSNtusY0N4/edit?usp=sharing--If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!📧[email protected]📞 (408) 547-4590⏰ Set up a time to chat: https://calendly.com/spencerhsure🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/🎙️ Listen to my podcast: https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate📸Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure🧑‍💼 Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it's beneficial to refinance! http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW--My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.
