Buying Versus Renting A Home…That Old Debate
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 08/08/2018 - 12:59pmWhy would someone write an article on buying versus renting a home? What’s in it for the author of the article?
Why would you read one?
What is it you want to hear? Do you just want confirmation and justification for what you already believe and want to do? Or, are you looking to be convinced otherwise?
These are all good questions to ask yourself if you find yourself reading an article on whether it makes more sense to buy a home, or rent a house.
There are “reasons” to buy, and “reasons” to rent.
