Are you wondering whether you should Rent or Buy a Home?
Consider the following:
COSTS
When You Rent, You Face Rising Rental Costs:
Your monthly payment generally goes up each time you sign or renew a lease. For most renters, this is annually.
When You Buy, You Stabalize Your Housing Costs:
Your monthly payment is locked in for the length of your loan. This is usually 15 – 30 years.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
When You Rent, You Don’t Earn Any Financial Beneffits:
Rising rents put a pinch on your wallet. You don’t get a return on your investment.
When You Buy, You Own a Tangible Asset:
Any home price appreciation helps grow the value of your home.
SAVINGS
When You Rent, You Limit Your Ability To Save:
As rents rise, it can be harder to save for a down payment and buy a home in the future.
When You Buy, You Grow Your Net Worth:
Your payments and price appreciation build equity and your net worth over time.
