Renting

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