Choosing to rent or buy a home is a huge decision, that affects your life in many different ways. In the US, many people lean towards home ownership- the "American Dream" However there are lots of pros and cons for both renting and owning!
Here are a few key factors to consider when deciding if renting or owning is better for you!
Renting ~Renting offers a lot of flexibility with little responsibility to the home (someone will always be there to make sure the yard gets mowed or the snow gets plowed) ~When you rent, you always know how much you will be spending on housing each month/year
VS Owning ~More freedom to do what you want, such as paint, remodeling, getting pets ~Ownership is one of the largest financial investments you will make. Sometimes you're able to gain equity in your new home and have a great little nest egg for your future.
The better option for you is not just about money. It is also about your comfort, and your goals for your life.
