I would guess so, I have no experience on the rental side. I have always just bought. I learned long ago, that you should buy good real estate here in CA and wait for it to reward your patience. So far, that philosophy has worked in spades for me.

It figured in taxes, PMI, and hazard insurance, and came up with $5658 monthly payment.

Actually it is $4900/mo for a 90% loan at 6%. I have a coworker who has that exact deal. Nobody pays PMI anymore and hazard insurance for these CA houses is only about $600/yr because the house isn't worth anything- its the land.

4800/mo. will get you a very nice place in the best neighborhoods. It won't be an executive house, but it would be very livable, far better than the $800k you're comparing it to.
