Renting vs. Owning
Although some renters believe that renting is "maintenance free," they are actually paying for maintenance in their rent - whether they need it or not. Renting offers you no equity, no tax benefit, and no protection against regular rent increases. If you're paying rent, you're really just paying someone else's mortgage. Let's compare.*
