Renters ... It's Time For Home Ownership

By
Real Estate Agent with The Bald Man Group

Renter's it is indeed time for homeownership!

If you are paying about $1200 ... or more a month, I may have the perfect solution for you.

THE CHALLENGE

I have encountered a significant number of people in the last few years that have rented their current home or a series of homes without ever having given serious thought to purchasing their own home.

 

Let's break this down!

 

If you would indulge me answer a few questions (for yourself of course).

1. Do you need to live some place? - Yes ... Everyone needs to live somewhere!

2. Is there a cost attached to that rental home? - Of course ... your monthly rent!

3. Are you paying your mortgage or someone elses? - You are paying the owners mortgage each month!

4. By living in someone elses home are you restricted in your use? In otherwords you can't paint a room or dig up a tree unless you get it in writting from the owner. - Tragically yes!

 

THE SOLUTION

How would you like to live in your own home? Not just any home, rather a home in one of Coeur d'Alene's top neighborhoods. A full 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms 2 living areas and a 2 car garage and close to everything that CDA has to offer.

 

THE CALCULATION (all numbers are given as an example and may vary based on your unique credit score - talk to a licensed lender to discover your unique ability to determine your personal ability to obtain financing.)

A home that sells for $244900 with 20% downpayment leaves a balance of roughly $196000 to finance. If you could qualify for financing at 4.5% and put the 20% down or $49,000. The estimated payments may look something like this:

Principal & Interest estimate $995 mo.

Insurance estimate $60 mo.

Taxes estimate $140 mo.

Total $1195 a month

 

There are other programs that don't require 20% down, such as FHA or VA type loan programs. But how are you going to know unless you take the first step?

 

There are some added benefits of home ownership:

1. As a home owner you can take certain deductions on your taxes each year.

2. As a homeowner you can ensure that your monthly payments will not go up each year as they might if you were a tenant.

3. As a homeowner you can paint your walls any color that you like.

4. As a homeowner you will build equity in your home each year that you pay your mortgage down.

5. As a homeowner your home will likely go up in value over time and that will increase the amount of equity that you have when you decide to sell.
