PL, here is the fallacy:
"paying a mortgage with interest, property taxes, maintenance and all the other mandatory costs that go above an beyond the cost to rent"

Long term over the life of a 30 yr mortgage, these costs are always lower than the cost to rent a similar living space. This is an important distinction often overlooked in investment planning. Buffett agrees.
