Top Ten Reasons to NOT Stop Renting!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Elite

Top 10 Reasons You Should NOT Buy a Home Today if You are Currently Renting

  1. You just can't be bothered with upgrading your life!
  2. Moving every six months is more important to you than money.
  3. You're too busy declaring bankruptcy today.
  4. You like your landlord (even though you've never met him) and want to buy him a home.
  5. Personalizing your home to your own taste does not appeal to you.
  6. You don't want to leave anything to your heirs.
  7. You would feel sorry for your landlord.
  8. You like the thrill of not knowing how much the next rent hike will be.
  9. Paying taxes is one of your favorite pastimes.
  10. You like knowing that your money is going nowhere every month, and that you'll probably not get your full deposit back!

All very good reasons.

Another reason not to stop renting is that real estate prices might go down in the near term and you might be able to get a better deal if you wait a little longer.
