Owning a home has rarely been this much more expensive than renting - eviltoast
The premium for homeownership has grown in recent years as home insurance, upkeep, and high mortgage rates skew the buying vs. renting math.

    I don’t know about that - I had my roof replaced (by insurance thankfully) about a year ago, and it was ~26k. HVAC out of pocket a couple years ago was about 15k. Not fun!

      It depends on how big your house is.

      I paid $10k for a 4 ton 15 SEER AC this summer (this depends on location I suppose). I paid $13k for a normal roof replacement last year.

      1600 sqft house.
