This is sensible, treat houses like you are renting them for 10 years. Plan to sell and move out before the 10 year mortgage is up. The interest-only payments are less than 1/2 the rent for a similar house. Hopefully, the house increases in price over that time so you break even or maybe make a profit.

Haha. Wild. The payments aren't quite half. Have to also factor in prop tax, Strata etc... but then yeah... if number go up of value then it's a medium term rental with a perk. 😦😳😖

Depends on the interest rate. With low rates from 7-8 years ago locked in, the taxes are half the payment. Interest is about 1/4 of what a comparable rental house would be.
