How Does Buying Compare to Renting

    Renting offers a life style that's nearly maintenance-free that may appeal to you, but consider that renting offers you No equity, No Tax benefit, and No protection against regular rent increases. If your rent has averaged $1700 a month for the last 10 Years, you've spent $204,000 with little to show for it. Isn't it time you invested in yourself  instead of your Landlord?

   Several financing options hold special advantages for first-time buyers of families with limited cash reserves. FHA- insured and VA Guaranteed Mortgages can minimize your Down Payment.

You may consider a Lease-Purchase Agreement, or borrow cash for a down payment from life insurance, profit-sharing or retirement Account.

Example

    Let's say you'd like to buy a home that costs $ 800,000.00 After a down payment of as Little as 20% (avoid PMI) you'll finance $640.000. On a 4.5% 30 - Year mortgage, your monthly payments for principal and interest will be about $ 3,689.55 You'll also realize additional Tax, Insurance, and Home Maintenance (Keep in mind you may have an additional income if it is a Multiple Dwelling), Furthermore you'll be on your way to Owning Your Piece of the American Dream.
