This may be a trivial question for many. Statistically buying a home get's expensive after many years of renting. First of all, you are paying the owner mortgage and he or she get's the benefit of writing it off on their taxes. However many have to start out renting to save for a down payment, I recommend once you made up your mind to buy, you can put your tax return aside to help, sacrifice going in debt for Christmas. Typically rent goes up 3% each year as per local taxes on home owners. So here you are always faced with unknown each year of rent escalating. Many times rent is equal or more than a mortgage payment. Many rent because they have cold feet on home ownership, bad credit or job cannot allow it due to constantly relocating because of employment mission. Bad credit can be upgraded provided you have a mind to grow your credit with the right agency and obedient. Another joy is that you have peace of mind to plant flowers or grow a garden. Influencing and setting an example for your kids as they see and learn the process. Your home value generally appreciates each year. Also this creates equity in your home so that you may borrow money for home improvements, buy another property or pay off some bills.
Many families that own rather renting, statistically live in their homes four times longer. This helps you to know your neighbors, see the trend of the housing market and community which leads to make serious decision to sell, stay or rent out as an investment home or refinance. Education wise much research shows children of homeowners promote higher test scores and graduate at a higher percentage rate than renters.
