Renting vs. Buying
To Rent… Or to Buy
Deciding whether to rent or buy a home is a significant financial choice that involves weighing several factors. Renting offers flexibility and less responsibility for maintenance, while buying provides long-term stability and potential investment benefits. Understanding your financial situation, lifestyle, and future goals is essential in making the right decision between renting and buying a property.
BUYING
It’s often cheaper to own your own home tham to rent.
Your monthly mortgage payment goes towards building your equity.
There are tax deductions for your property taxes and interest expense.
Fixed-rate mortgages keep your monthly payment the same each month.
On-time mortgage payments can help you achieve a better credit rating.
RENTING
There is limited or no ability to personalize your living space.
No matter what happens with the value of the home, you will never gain equity.
Your landlord gets all available tax deductions.
Your landlord has the ability to raise your rent once your current lease expires, unless you live in a municipality with rent control laws.
Hosting gatherings is harder due to close living quarters.
