Need a house for two years. What should I do?

only you can answer that question.. typically, there are costs associated with purchasing a home as well as selling.. if your only in the home for 2 years before selling, then between the costs to purchase it and the costs to sell it, you would be luck to break even.. (1% costs to purchase, 1% costs to sell, 6% RE commissions = 8%).. your home would have to appreciate at least 8% in the 2 years to break even... .. I’m a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

Lease, with 3 year option to purchase. If value goes up, sell at a profit.

You have to be prepared to rent the house out if you can not sell it

Really depends on your circumstances, how good a deal you can get on the home and how easy it will be to sell when you are ready to move. Two years is pretty short time but for some it might make sense.

I suggest you rent. Assuming you buy a house at fair market value, and sell two years later... you are going to need to pay a real estate agent commissions on the sale. Because of that, in just two years, you may end up selling for a loss. If you are lucky, you might break even. If you are super lucky, you may make a super small profit. because two out of the three likely outcomes are negative, I'd say rent... and remember, this is coming from a guy who makes money if you buy....
