Buying or Renting in 2027? (The 7% Rule)

Join my masterclass: learn.moneywithcarla.com/invest

Is it actually better to buy property or rent and invest the difference? I ran the numbers so you don't have to. Again.

In this video I break down the buy vs rent debate properly, including the 7% rule, real property growth rates, and how stock market returns compare over the long run. The answer might surprise you.

What I cover:

- The true cost of buying (it's more than just your bond repayment

- How the 7% rule works and whether it actually holds up against

- Property growth vs stock market returns, side by side

- When buying makes financial sense, and when renting wins

- What the numbers say about which option leaves you better off

This is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make.

👇 Watch to the end, the comparison at the end changed how I think about this.
