What is the rent-vs-buy breakeven in Alpharetta or Canton?

Rent-versus-buy breakeven in Alpharetta or Canton depends on the actual purchase price, the actual rent being compared, and assumptions about how each might change over time, so it has to be calculated on real numbers rather than quoted as one figure for either city. A buyer comparing a specific home against a specific lease gets an honest answer this way. Joel Boss runs that calculation with Alpharetta and Canton buyers property by property.
