Rent or Buy. That is the question. Here's the answer.

A lot of my clients are in that struggle between renting versus buying. They've rented for years and they're comfortable with the ease of it, but they also know they are throwing their money away. With home-ownership, they have to take over all the expenses and maintenance of a new home. That sounds daunting to some.

What should they do? I found an excellent rent versus buy calculator to help you make that decision. It factors in more than just the monthly rent vs the monthly payment. Take a look and see if renting or buying is in your best interest.

Morning Mike.

I rented once for about a year.  Just hated it.

Good morning Mike. Each of us decides what feels right and comfortable, but the calculator is excellent.
