Isn't renting supposed to cost more than buying? When it is the opposite, what is the reason for it?

GNL, saw this post on Quora and thought of your post. 441% return since 1987 and 207% return since 2008-2009 housing crash. Apply the ROI by a factor of 4 assuming 25% down payment. This doesn’t include the increase in cash flow over the years. Has rent gone up 3-4x since 1987? Has rent gone up 1.5-2x since the 2008-2009 crash?

The assets bought in 1987 should be free and clear by 2017 if one didn’t do anything with it. What if the owner repositioned the asset a couple times during the ownership to acquire a couple more properties? When doing this in real life, it’s like the monopoly game.

My ROI since the housing crash is not 207% times 4. It’s by a much bigger multiplier since I’m a value add investor. I wanted my seed investment back within 6 to 12 months so I could keep acquiring. It can be a lucrative investment/biz for someone who is driven, dedicated and likes this line of wealth building. It’s like tree planting. One time effort for many years/decades of fruit harvesting.
