If you are a home owner or want to buy a home some day, than what are your reasons?
Or why do you not like renting.

I would like to own a home someday for the main reason of being able to do what I want to it.

My dream is to build a small movie theater in my house.


hey you
the house you have is yours for one. secondly, it has a money value and the money value is yours. that way if you sell it and move elsewhere you have all that money to do so. who wants to make a landlord rich? not me.


*FLIRTACIOUS*
When you're rent something, to me, you do not have the sense that this is mine, this is what I worked so hard to get, and then when you get older, who wants to still be renting, with those payments, you could have just payed for a house.In some places ,when renting, you can't paint the walls, or make any appliance / cabinet , door nobs, etc. improvements, so you always feel as if you can't really make the place seem like home!

I rent because it doesn't have the all the responsibilities you get when you own. Something breaks call the landlord, snows? call the landlord. However I am getting sick of having a landlord so I am soon going to be looking to get a condo. ironic

I want to own a home soon because all the money I've spent over the years on rent could have been used on buying a house. Collectively, you spend more money renting that you would buying. And I want something to leave to my kids.

To have something to defend and a place to grow a garden when your money isn't worth the paper it is printed on next year.

why give my money to someone else so they can pay THEIR house payment? It's a good investment. I made over 80 large on my house in 4 years. (20,000 a year is not chump change)

Buying a home gives you the ability to say that it is YOUR home and you can do what you want with it; if you want to paint your kitchen a different color you don't have to check with the land lord you just do it!! Also owning your own home gives most people a great sense of pride and joy.

Rent is a waste of money, a home is an investment.


advicemom
Owning is equity, renting is throwing money away every month. Might as well just burn it. But when you pay a home loan, there is the hope that one day you will own the house and can sell it for profit, or live in it rent free.


Blunt Honesty
You spend 5 years renting and you have nothing to show for it. At the very least, if you make 5 years of house payments, you can sell the house and make a little money off of it. The longer you pay on the home, and make improvements to it, the more equity it has. Equity = Money. You can also itemize your tax deductions to include the taxes paid on your mortgage. You don't get anything except crappy neighbors and a crappy landlord for renting.
