Rent Vs. Purchase - the investment angle

[DRJOE]

Did this post http://seattlebubble.com/blog/2007/03/2 ... omparison/
continued somewhere in the forums, to the investment side of buying a property with, say ,20-50% down?

Seems like when leveraged (read- "other's money built your equity"- which is probably safer and cheaper then margin interest, if to consider the 'other option' of stock/funds portfolio) it takes a different angle.

Your thought/ideas are most appreciated.
