Well located makes more sense than just large for two people. You wrote big so maybe you just meant expensive not 5000 square feet. You can afford to do what you want.Hmm. We have considered renting for a year or so before we bought.. but not the whole time. It's a smaller place, likely renovated, so furnishing, maintenance, and renovations would be minor, but insurance and taxes are significant. Unfortunately so is rent. The property would almost certainly appreciate to some degree. I'm not sure, it's hard to track all the pros and cons and reconcile them.
I am using Boldin to model not moving vs moving which has been helpful.
