Buying vs Renting

Buying vs Renting in today’s market. Which is better?

There are pros and cons to both. But here’s a couple of key points.

  • When you own your landlord can’t raise your rent.

  • When you own your landlord can’t put your rental on the market.

  • When you own you are building equity and wealth for YOU.

  • When you rent and the sewer line fails is not your problem.

  • When you rent you are not in a “committed relationship” with your home.

  • When you rent you are paying 100% interest rate. Say what? Yes, your rent is 0% to principal and 100% to your landlord.

Homeownership doesn’t have to be out of reach, no matter what you tell yourself. I have great strategies and resources for first time buyers to overcome the fear of buying a home.
