c)Let’s see…$600 versus $11,500. Hmmm. I like that math. That equates to a nice healthy tax return for most of us, come April of next year.

Take those thousands of dollars in tax return, and go on a nice Cruise around Jamaica!

5.WEALTH:

It’s arguably much, much harder for a renter to build wealth. There is no built-in mechanism for appreciation, whereasrepparttar homeowner has postured themselves wisely forrepparttar 112281 future.

a)Let’s say we have a renter that wants to get wealthy. Great! They must go find a business to run, or a stock to invest in, or come up with a great invention, or berepparttar 112282 next rock star, or follow a family friends “tip”, and go do Cattle Futures from August to September (just an example, folks…I don’t know anything about cattle…). In any event, most people would be concerned that our renter is followingrepparttar 112283 proverbial “pipe dream” towards wealth.

b)But let’s say we have a homeowner who wants to build wealth. Great! What do they need to do? Simple….Nothing…Payrepparttar 112284 mortgage…Live inrepparttar 112285 house…Go work your job. That’s it. Real Estate appreciates in value, on average, overrepparttar 112286 long haul, like no other financial vehicle. It is a virtual certainty, and it is automatic. The homeowner controlsrepparttar 112287 total value ofrepparttar 112288 home. That’srepparttar 112289 magic of leverage.

c) Let me driverepparttar 112290 point home: Someone might buy a house at $150,000, let’s say, and overrepparttar 112291 course of 7 to 10 years, it is completely reasonable to suggest that this very same house could be worth around $600,000.

Renters do not have a built in advantage for building wealth, whereas Real Estate appreciates in value as a virtual certainty. They don’t call home-ownershiprepparttar 112292 “American Dream” for nothing!

SUMMARY:

The subject of deciding on whether to Buy or Rent, is not simple. Inrepparttar 112293 end, it boils down to a question of complexity. Being a Renter is simple. Being a Homeowner is more complex, and yet, that does not mean that it is not within your grasp. It IS!!! There are so many people that are just waiting inrepparttar 112294 wings, yearning to help you get there. Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Brokers, Friends, Family, etc.

With all of these resources around you, just about anyone can own a home, and in this great country,repparttar 112295 American Dream of Home Ownership is completely within all of our grasps!

But do me a favor. Give yourselfrepparttar 112296 time to examine these important questions first. Look within. As we all get older in life, we yearn for more. Buying versus Renting is a common theme in this journey. As we wave goodbye torepparttar 112297 younger years, we say so long torepparttar 112298 simplicity of life, and we say hello torepparttar 112299 promise of prosperity, wealth, and a better tomorrow. We also say hello to higher, more complex things. Often times, it’s simplyrepparttar 112300 willingness to accept complexity that will get you torepparttar 112301 understanding you need.

Best of luck on your journey, from Renting to Owning your next Home!
