Rent or Buy?
If you’ve never considered how much you pay in rent over an extended period of time, perhaps you should, becaus it is probably a lot more than you realize. The amount you spend for rent each month, could be applied to a mortgage. And what happens to your rent money? poof, it’s gone! There’s no interest, no equity, no return.
RENT
No interest-payment deductions
Rental amount may increase at any time
You’ll need your landlord approval for changes
No capitalization
Rental is temporary and often subject to a 30 day notice
BUY
Mortgage interest may be tax deductable
Decorate and make changes, without prior landlord approval
The value of your property may increase in time
Your house will become a home, not a temporaray living situation!
So, now that you decided to stop spending money on rent and buy (ha!) either your first house or 2nd, give me a call so I can help you find your dream home!
