@Basit Siddiqi's advice is generally correct, but from a Canadian perspective:I've been working on an "Investment Chooser" calculator that takes into account current and future income tax rates.

Just wanting to make sure we are looking at everything correctly before we get out of due diligence.PP: $305,000Seller is contributing $9150 to our closing costs and we are putting 5% down.HOA is $500/year and taxes were roughly $2800 last year.HOA has no rent restrictions but does have a clause in their bylaws concerning household composition.

The folks who claim to have predicted correctly in the past generally are confusing luck with a prediction.

We spent about 20K getting advice on this and getting set up correctly, go to the best people you can find, you don't want cheap advice when your entire business is at stake.
