Perspectives: Rent Vs Buy

Perspectives is a new apartment complex in Roeland Street in the Cape Town CBD. You can either rent for R4500/mo or buy at R10000/mo (with 20% down over 20 years).

Ouch!

That's some SERIOUS negative cashflow if you're thinking of buying now for an 'investment'. I don't even want to run the numbers of this... Ahhh what the hell:
