"Buy or Rent"

April 28th, 2021



KEY TAKEAWAYS - Additional information

  • Both renting and buying have their financial advantages, and owning a home isn’t right for everyone.
  • Unlike homeowners, renters have no maintenance costs or repair bills and they don't have to pay property taxes.
  • Renting usually requires a security deposit equal to one month’s rent, whereas a homebuyer is required to have a sizable down payment—typically around 20% of the property’s value—when purchasing a home with a mortgage.
  • Generally, renters also have lower utility bills, greater flexibility in where they live, and access to amenities, such as a pool or fitness room, that might otherwise be prohibitively expensive.

When you are ready, I hope to put my 20 years of real estate experience to help. www.megandonaldson.net
