0:00Should you buy or rent a jobsite office?
Buy when the office will be working on jobs for about two years or more. Rent when it would sit idle between projects.
Roughly two years is where the rent you've paid catches up with the price of buying the office outright.
0:12Where does lease-to-own fit?
Lease-to-own sits between them: monthly payments for 24 or 36 months, and the title is yours at the end.
Owning also means you store it and move it between jobs. So count the months the office will really be on a job, not the months you'll own it.
