Rent or buy in Buffalo?

Under ~6 months: rent. A season of jobsite storage or a renovation costs a few hundred dollars in rent, with no resale hassle at the end.

Past ~12 months: buy. A year of 20ft rent ($1,140–$2,400, plus delivery and pickup) roughly equals the delivered price of a used wind & watertight 20ft ($1,400–$3,200) — and with a purchase, you keep the box.

Buffalo is an inland market served by regional yards in the city and West Seneca, plus national sellers delivering from out-of-state depots. Delivered prices typically land in the middle of the national range — cheaper than the deep inland West, more than port cities like Newark or Houston.
