Since there are all kinds of forces at work behind the scenes such as the current interest in Agra, Agra property taxes, tax savings, appreciation in general to investments in Agra, comparing the cost of renting to the cost of buying in Agra is a lot more complicated than just comparing the monthly mortgage payment to the monthly rent payment.
