In 2017 alone, 60% of women millennial buyers were single! Buying a home seems to come with the idea that it’s the step AFTER you get married and have a family - but that simply isn’t true! Not only is home buying an incredible investment, it provides stability. If you’re worried that a home is too much of a commitment while you're travelling around the world, having a great Realtor here at home that's on your side can help ensure you aren’t tied down by a home.
Our team just recently sold a property in an up and coming area to a 24 year old single female who is currently living in China. She will be there for the next two years working on her start-up company. She decided why wait another two years to purchase her first home when she can afford to do so now?! So, she's invested in a beautiful property that will continue to appreciate in value, while her tenant pays for her mortgage. I was truly impressed by her ability to make such a smart real estate decision at the young age of 24! Good news is, she is not alone.
No one ever said your net worth is a burden. Build your net worth by owning your own dream house and recoup your investment when the day comes to sell. If you’re paying the same amount on rent as you could on a mortgage payment, doesn’t it make sense to put that monthly amount into a home you could actually get the money back on? Of course it does! It’s time to invest in yourself and your future.
