Buy or Rent?
Costly repairs can pop up unexpectedly, upkeep can drain your wallet and then there are expenses like property taxes and homeowners insurance. What should you do? You’ve found the perfect neighborhood; unfortunately your jaw dropped when the real estate agent told you how much your dream home was on the market for. Bottom line, if you can’t keep a budget and save up some spare funds, you might be better off with the lightened responsibility that comes with renting. On the one hand, if you chose an apartment in the same neighborhood, chances are good you could manage the rent. It’s a tough call.
If the rent ratio is sound, then it might be time to settle down. That way, instead of potentially seeing your rent go up, you’ll possibly be seeing the value go up in what’s almost certainly your largest investment. If you own pets, which option is preferable? So while someone who owns their own home doesn’t have to shell out a couple hundred dollars just to get their dogs or cats in the door, they’ll be the ones footing the bill when the dog ruins the hardwood floors or the cat tears up the carpet. It’s true that renters typically pay a deposit if they have pets, but that’s also meant to cover all the damage those pets will potentially cause.
