The 2% rule is a guide, like all other rules.I think you should do the math, as you have, on both sides being rented at market value because you may not want to live there forever.I wouldn't personally purchase without cash flow.Not all areas allow for cash flow purchases so you may need to find another way to invest in real estate in your area.For analysis purposes, I do monthly rent - 30% (vacancy/maint) - PITI (I prefer 15 year notes) = reasonable expectation of long term cash flow.
