Rent Vs. Buying
The common question we always get is “When is the right time to look for a home?”
To be honest, multiple factors play a role in this question, such as savings, credit, income, job stability, purchase price, and job experience.
With that being said, we always recommend considering buying a home as soon as you are ready because of the tax breaks, equity, and stability you will gain owning your own home.
Here’s a breakdown of a couple of scenarios:
Scenario #1
Rent is $2500 monthly and looking to buy a $500,0000 home with a FHA at 3.5% downpayment
Scenario #2
Rent is $3000 monthly and looking to buy a $700,000 home with an FHA Loan and a 3.5% downpayment
Break-even in this scenario is 3 years
