Annapolis 'WOW' House Rental: Waterfront Splendor For $8.5K Per Month

ANNAPOLIS, MD — If, for whatever reason, circumstances dictate that renting a home is the preferable option to buying a home, you may as well rent in style. And style certainly is not in short supply for this home listed on Realtor.com.

As to whether to rent or buy home, the New York Times had a piece a while back that breaks down both options. It noted that "the costs of buying are more varied and complicated than for renting, making it hard to tell which is a better deal."
