Frequently Asked Questions

How does EMI vs rent comparison work?+
It compares the total cost of paying EMI (including interest, down payment, and maintenance) against renting over the same period, accounting for investment returns on the difference.
What factors should I consider for EMI vs rent?+
Consider the loan EMI, property appreciation, maintenance costs, tax benefits on home loan, rent amount, annual rent increase, and returns you could earn by investing the down payment.
Is paying EMI always better than rent?+
Not necessarily. In cities with high property prices and low rental yields, renting and investing the difference can sometimes be more financially beneficial.
