buy.. why spend all the money renting when it could be use for house payments? |
|

depends on your finances and your market area(i.e. if you live in Cali, homes are really expensive) and if you have a large enough down payment. |
|

nay

buy you can always fix the place up and sell it for more. renting your giving away your money. |

depends on your money... |

Research the market conditions of your local area and decide. If the housing market is on a decline, then rent for awhile and start saving money for a down payment. If your area's housing market is still strong and appreciating, then you should buy as soon as possible. It's always better to own property in the long run, but it's wise to double-check your local market conditions so you won't overpay for your house and lose money. |

Right now I am facing a very tough decision. Buying a home: an investment, you live there "rent free" if it resells well (I'm in Ohio), but there are costs to maintain it and one of those costs is time. I am single, so I felt fairly isolated when I owned a house up until a year ago. Now I rent...
Why rent? The current place I am looking at has a good rate, includes gas, has community activities, and has a reasonable indoor pool, an outdoor pool, and a party hall for resident use at no cost beyond the rent! No mowing the lawn... So we aren't really comparing similar things or life experiences.
People talk about money, money, money, but let's also talk about time investments and expenditures. If you are single like I am and buying a regular house and unable to find renters, this is potentially an unpleasant experience, even if you make some money in the long run. No, face it, it's WORK, and the kind of work where you don't tend to meet women.
Now if the apartment is lacklustre and noisy and polluted and the landlord is negligent or an idiot, then you have a clear incentive to buy instead! Unfortunately, the place I'm looking at has competent, friendly people and tenants have stayed on because of them for DECADES.
So the final analysis should be, "How will this decision impact your quality of life?" You might get more money, but you NEVER get younger... |

I think it is better to buy a house because u don't have to pay every month for the rent fee. |

buy. Renting is just as much as buying so why not buy it! |

Depends...on how much money you have outside of making monthly payments. If you have a good amount to invest you might want to invest in something outside of buying your home. You don't want a house to limit the amount you can invest. If all your money goes into a mortage then you might not be able to grow your bank acount as fast as you might want. On the other had you will reap the benefits of being a home owner (tax cut's, appreciation, and equity in the long run). The biggest question is if your money is going to be tied to a mortage or are you going to have the flexibility to invest in other avenues that will out weight the tax benefit and appreciation of house you buy. |

It really depends on were you are in your life right now.
Check out this link, and put some real thought into it: http://www.fool.co.uk/school/2006/sch060405.htm?ref=foolwatch
I rent and I love it. I have a super who fixes all my problems. I never need to worry about a thing. If you're young and single, and want to have more time to go out and enjoy life, renting might be for you. If your thinking about having a family, and that is were your values are, buying would probably be the better move. |

Buying a home is always better. You can write off your taxes and insurance, as well as your home is an investment. |
|

 |
it all depends on where you live...
In big cities (where prices are out of this world) it doesn't make sense to buy right now...
Make a comparison between how much you would pay for rent, and what it would cost for mortage per month to buy a similar place... If they're close, then buying is better for sure. |

It depends how long you plan to stay in that spot. If you plan to live there permanently buy. If you plan to live there for more than 10 years still buy. But if it's for less time think more about it before you do. What will also matter is if your situation is permanent. Are you married? Are you happy with your marriage/job? Will your work make you move? Consider all those things befoere making a decision. |
