Renting Vs. Buying

Benjamin Franklin said something about taxes and death being two certains of this world. He forgot one other certain: paying for a roof over your head. And you're either doing that in one of two ways: Paying your Landlord's mortgage, or paying your own!

Even though I sell property for a living, there are times when paying rent makes sense. But, then there's a time when paying rent just doesn't make good "cents" any more. There is nothing to compare to the longer term process of buying a home of your own. Sure, it's a big investment. Sure, it's a big step, but in most cases renting is like treading water.

While the enticement of $750/monthly rent vs. $1,500/monthly mortgage might seem like good financial sense . . . is it?

If you're single, over 30, and rent... Uncle Sam is nailing you in taxes. With the constant of having a roof over your head, think about buying a condo. If you're recently married, maybe renting a larger apartment for $1,200 a month with your new spouse might make sense. But you may be surprised to learn that a single family home, with a $1,700 a month mortgage is going to be a better investment.

Maybe, you have a partner, or might be doing the roommate route. In both cases, you might be able to buy with these circumstances and STILL come out on the plus side of investing in your financial future.

Budgets are important, so why not let me run a COST ANALYSIS on a Rent vs. Buy scenario? This is a FREE REPORT, with no obligation. I'm happy to provide you with the bottom line. You'll be surprised how much money you're throwing out the window each month paying your Landlord's mortgage. Invest your money in a place of your own, and let me start the process by providing you with this easy to understand report.

There are certain things I'll need to know, such as: how much you're currently paying for rent, etc. so just give me a call, or email me, and we can get this ball rolling. Hmmmm . . . now that I think about it, wasn't it Benjamin Franklin who said: "A penny saved, is a penny EARNED!"

Find out how many pennies you've been tossing out in rent each month vs. how many you'll be saving!!
