Send us a textDave and Hayden at Aussie FIRE recently received a thought-provoking question from a listener. While we’re paraphrasing slightly, its essence boiled down to:“As a long-term investor, are you better off buying a more expensive home, or buying a cheaper home and investing the difference?”Depending on your own preferences, you might have a clear idea of which approach makes the most sense. However, from an objective point of view, there are a range of factors to consider. So, in the spirit of open-mindedness, Dave and Hayden set out to compare the two.Join them as they measure the potential pros and cons of buying a more expensive home against a cheaper one. By popular demand, Hayden also unpacks his rent vs buy Excel spreadsheet calculations.
