The prompt

Help me compare renting and buying the same kind of home over [10] years, using my own numbers. I'll make the decision. Home price: [amount], city: [city] Down payment I can make: [amount] Home loan: [rate, tenure] Other buying costs: [stamp duty, registration, brokerage, interiors] Yearly costs if I own: [maintenance, property tax, society charges] Rent for a similar home: [monthly], expected yearly rent increase: [%] What my down payment could earn if invested instead: [%] Expected yearly rise in home value: [% - mark as an assumption] Show: 1. A year-by-year table: total paid if renting vs buying, and net worth under each (home equity vs invested savings). 2. The break-even year, if any. 3. Which assumptions change the answer most, and by how much (for example, a 1% change in home price growth). 4. Non-money factors: stability, job moves, flexibility. Keep my numbers and your assumptions clearly separate. Mention that tax benefits depend on current rules and my tax regime, marked [CHECK].
