Rent is a cost that is going to need to be paid whether you live in the place, or rent it out.
If you live in it, you pay (or lose) imputed rent anyway. If you currently can rent for lower than the cost of capital, you are ahead (except for taxation, which does change the equation - cost of capital for investment is cheaper, usually, than for home residence due to tax incentives).
