Renting: You could be throwing your money away.

Credit issues? I can recommend a awesome credit repair person. It's free.

Downpayment issues: There are programs that require little or no down.

Let's get started today. Don't throw away any more money on rent.

How To Throw Away $100,000

It's very easy.  Rent a house.  

  Columbia, SC     I was talking with a would-be home buyer the other day and he couldn't commit because of dropping home prices.  He said he was paying $850 per month rent for his house. 

If he rents for 10 years he has thrown away $100,000!

30 year mortgage rates are below 5% today and that same $850/month will buy you a $140,000 house. 

We have no idea what that house will sell for in 10 years but most likely it will not lose $100,000 in value.

Great re-blog.  Great introduction to it, too.  If you have the credit, and the downpayment if required, its CRAZY to rent!  Credit repair - folks need to be SURE they are going to reputable credit repair specialists and its best to get a trusted referral.  I am still hearing of way too many people getting scammed.
