RENT vs. BUY
Purchasing real estate while your child is at the University of Colorado-Boulder makes good financial sense. Conservatively, you can save tens of thousands of dollars over 3-4 years by purchasing a simple 2-bedroom condo close to campus. Larger bedroom units yield move savings. The trick in this market is to buy in a great location and at a good price.
