Answer:
The financial and economic factors that should be considered when performing this analysis are:
b. Current and expected future housing prices
c. Current and expected future housing-related tax deductions
Explanation:
a) A rent-or-buy decision should be based on financial and economic factors. There is the financial implication of making a down payment, closing costs, and maintenance expenses when one decides to own a home instead of renting an apartment. However, for the occupant, renting provides the advantage of known monthly costs. Some advantages of owning a house are building equity and tax benefits. The pride that comes that comes from owning a home is not a financial and economic benefit.
