It has been said, "Every time you write a rent check
it's like throwing money away." Giving money to a landlord on a monthly
basis can be a bitter pill to swallow. Departing with ones money is not the
only thing a tenant faces. The majority of rent property is old and has been
used. A tenant is uncertain about what inconveniences lies ahead on another
person's property.
Buying a home is an investment in one's future. Financial
planners and investors say that real estate is the best investment one can
make. No matter how the housing market fluctuates, a homeowner usually gets a
substantial amount back when they sell if they have had their home for a good
amount of time.
A new house is a great investment. It is modern, up-to-date,
and clean (you decide where the stains go). But not surprisingly, it can be
more expensive. The best time to buy is when the market is down. Nevertheless,
a used house can also be a worthwhile investment. By buying a used house you
can get two advantages: no additional construction charges and little extras
that the former owners leave behind. Plus, if there is any maintenance that
needs to be done on the used house, it should not be as expensive overall to
fix compared to buying a new house. No matter what decision is made between a
new house and a used house buying one or the other is a great investment.
Most landlords despise it when tenant s want to paint, new
carpet, or do any type of upgrading to their living conditions to make a more
at home feel. A tenant usually has to seek permission from the landlord before
any changes can be made on their property. But there is something liberating in
having your own property. It gives a full-filling sense of accomplishment when
your property reflects what you want. In having a home of your own, it is your
choice on how to decorate; rather it is new paint, new carpet, new tile, or new
cabinets.
The interior is freedom within itself, but let us not forget
the exterior of the home. Outside appeal says a lot about the homeowner.
Getting plush, green grass, placing trees were you want them to be, displaying
your choice color of flowers, and having the outside trim of your home look
they way you want it to. Buying your own home lets you be as ostentatious as
you want.
Buying a house can be an exciting venture to anybody.
Whenever a single person, young married, or a family decides to leave the rent
house for buying a house, one thing to remember is buy for what you need and
not for what you want.
