4 Thinking Points Before Buying a HouseWritten by Roger Sorensen
Continued from page 1
3. Does renting cost more than owning? Sometimes you can find a house that is actually cheaper to own than place you are currently renting. If you are purchasing a house purely for sake of less cash outflow each month, be sure to consider all costs of ownership: mortgage, insurances, maintenance, snow removal, etc. If you still find that owning is more cost effective than renting, go for it. 4. Is it what you really, really want to do? Occasionally owning a house is what you really want to do, even if it doesn’t make economic sense. In that case, make sure you do your homework, consider three thinking points above, and make best choice you can. Buy most house for least money in best neighborhood. Buying a house can be an emotionally charged time in your life. It is also an enormous user of your resources. Take your time and be confident that you are ready to move into another stage of your life where you can be proud to say “This is my house.”
