Military orders can come very unexpectedly. Prospective home buyers are wary about purchasing a home will be smart. When the future is uncertain it can be scary.
Let's look at several things to consider.
- If you know for sure that you will not be staying long term and don't want the responsibility of turning your home into a rental property in the event you cannot sell and come out clean, then consider renting.are considering buying but not going to be staying long term in the area.
- If you have pets you may be shut out of getting a rental home depending on the types and quantity. This is a good reason to consider buying your own home and to get one that has a fenced yard.
- The market may have a number of rental properties in inventory or in the location you want. Rents can be as high as house payments or even higher.
- For those that have VA Eligibility, you can buy with no money down. Clarksville sellers help pay part of the closing costs for the buyer. This makes buying more affordable than renting. Rental utility deposits can be higher than if you own.
- If you do have to leave the area in a couple of years, there is a good chance the market has appreciated and your home is worth more and maybe even enough to cover selling costs and make some on top of that.
