Renting vs buying a house in Indianapolis β Max Moore runs two side-by-side timelines on the same $300K home to show exactly what waiting to buy really costs you. One renter, one buyer, both saving the same money. Who comes out ahead after one year? After five? Max pencils out the down payment, the appreciation, the principal paydown, and the number most people never run: what the buyer walks away with for "doing absolutely nothing."
Max bought his first home at 19. The average first-time buyer in America is now over 40. This is the math that explains the gap, plus honest answers to the two objections he hears most: "I'll wait for rates to drop" and "I'm not sure I'll plant roots here yet."
