I have read conflicting opinions on buying vs selling. Using a calculator on one site it recommended selling and putting my money in a high yield savings because it would make more money vs renting. However, those conditions I weighed we're assuming rent was under $2,000 monthly. Then I read it's better to rent based on the 2% rule. Just so many articles. Your thoughts please...
