Episodio 4 - ¿Alquilar o comprar? Con Javier Fernández-Pacheco

Is renting throwing money away? Is buying always a good investment? In this episode of Dato en Mano (Fact in Hand), we tackle one of life's most important financial decisions: choosing between renting and buying a home. We speak with Javier Fernández Pacheco, financial advisor, university professor, and author of the book "Rent or Buy?", to analyze this decision based on data, not beliefs. Throughout the conversation, we debunk deeply ingrained myths, analyze when it makes sense to buy and when to rent, and explore key factors such as market conditions, personal stability, the profitability of alternative investments, and the true cost of a home. We also discover why comparing mortgages and rent can be misleading and how real data, such as that from the Notary's Statistical Portal, can help you make a more informed decision. A must-see episode if you're hesitating between renting and buying a home.
