Both renting and owning a home have their advantages with all considerations factored in.   Renting makes it easier to relocate and requires little or no responsibility maintenance.    Buying is an investment and the truth is that there is no place like home.

Real estate is one of the best investments you will ever make.   Buying a home builds up wealth in two ways:  through the down payment and through the appreciation over time.      It also builds up your credit and has tax benefits.  Rent is money that you will never see again.

In most cases, if you plan to stay in your home for even just a few years, you will start to see the home buying route as the better option.    The rent vs. buy mortgage calculator is a great starting point as it provides all the different comparisons.    Feel free to try it on your own or better yet, give one of our mortgage professionals a call.   Let us present the pros and cons of renting vs. buying with your specific finances in mind.
