> The landlord has to make the same repairs you would, and still turn a profit, at a margin likely higher than a mortgage’s interest rate
That's unlikely, if the rented space is part of a complex. The complex repairs are amortized across all the units. The issue is about cost per square footage. Given you don't have to pay for the same square footage (not the full lot, only the space your unit and parking occupies) it's almost always lower.
