For me personally, I used an LLM to build out a financial model with different macro and financial input variables (e.g. mortgage rates, if I rented rooms, HOA, home appreciation rate, etc). These factors changed my projected return differently on a 10, 30, 50 year time horizon for renting vs owning

I recommend everyone who's making this decision to do something similar as an additional perspective. So many variables will be dependent on location, personal finances, and goals
