No I was just talking about that “net cost” number the original post came up with. After all expenses, interest, and sale of the house, they were claiming they would lose $500k over the lifetime of owning the house.
$500K is BEFORE sell the house with capital gains. If you do decide to sell, the number is $3750/month average costs per month to living the house you own after 30 years. Still better than renting, but not as most of home owner had imaged.
