Renting vs Buying in 2026: The 7% Rule (Real Estate Agents Hide)
Why Renting Makes You Richer than Buying in 2026 (The 7% Rule)

Is renting actually "throwing money away"? In 2026, the math says the exact opposite.

Everyone tells you to buy a house. Your parents, your friends, and especially your real estate agent. They say renting is setting cash on fire. But what if they are wrong?

In this video, I expose the "Unrecoverable Costs" of homeownership that nobody talks about—Property Taxes, Maintenance, and the massive Opportunity Cost of your down payment. We break down the 7% Rule, a simple mathematical formula to instantly tell you if you should rent or buy in your specific market using 2026 data.

We analyze the Unrecoverable Costs of homeownership in 2026:

Maintenance (The 1% hidden wealth killer)
Opportunity Cost (Why your down payment is losing you millions)
