    net annual cost of renting is less than that of purchase

    so we can say it is beneficial to rent the property

    Explanation:

    we know that that Costs Associated with Buying a Property

    Annual Mortgage Payment = $ 9800 (out of $9575 is interest payment)

    Property Taxes = $ 1780

    Down Payment = $ 4500

    Insurance / Maintenance = $1050

    Total Costs = 17,130

    minus here Tax Savings on Mortgage Interest = $2,681

    that is (9575 * 28%)

    Tax Savings on Property Taxes = $498.40 i. e (28% of 1780)

    Growth in Equity = $225.00

    Estimated Annual appreciation = $ 1,700.00

    Net Annual cost on purchase = $ 12,025.60

    Costs Associated with Renting a Property Annual Rent = $ 7,380.00

    Security Deposit = $ 650.00

    Insurance = $ 145.00

    Total Costs = $ 8,175.00

    Less Interest receivable on Down payment amt invested = $ 270.00

    i. e (4500 6% after tax rate)

    Net Annual Cost on Renting = $7,905.00

    so that here net annual cost of renting is less than that of purchase

    so we can say it is beneficial to rent the property
