<prompt> Human: Ive recently decided that I need to do some financial planning. Currently trying to decide whether renting or buying is better for me.My personal situation is this:Rent 1000moSalary 50kWill possibly need to relocate in 3.5 years.When I put my stats into a calculator, it usually says that buying is a better option after 5 or 6 years.Here is my question, when you use rent vs buy calculators, it always assumes that you will sell your house after the time frame entered, which significantly affects the overall costs of buying. But what about renting your house out after a few years if you have to move? Are there legaladministrative costs to turning your home into a rental property?Thanks for any input. Im learning a lot more about this stuff currently, but Im definitely a beginner in personal finance.  <response>: Long distance landlord is more difficult than you think. Unless you already have strong experience as a property owner renting to tenants, you should avoid a plan that puts you in that situation.
