Around these parts, you can rent a decent 2 bedroom home for about $2500. Mortgage on that same home will probably run you $4000 if you bought close to the peak of the market.

So, add $1500 to the price of your new mortgage, along with losing the tax deduction for interest on the mortgage, and it starts to look pretty untenable for a lot of folks.
