Buying or Renting? That is the Question

Whether you’re thinking of buying a home or renting one, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Both options come with their own rewards and risks. When you buy a home, besides the pride of ownership and it being one of the single best investments, the advantages include a tax write-off, upgrades however you see fit and building equity in your home as value appreciates instead of your landlords home. However, this also means that you’re responsible for all the home maintenance and repairs as well as all the utilities, property taxes and home insurance. Moving becomes more difficult because you don’t just have the freedom of picking up and relocating. You have to take care of the future of your home. Will you rent it out, sell it and so on. Buying or renting is a big decision. Consider the pluses and minuses and make the decision that’s good for you and your family.

The Best Way to Break a Lease

Sometimes breaking a lease is a must, either for job relocation or family emergency or other situation. If you must do it, there are ways to make it a little easier and maybe even get you some of that deposit money back. For example, you can offer an explanation and give your landlord as much time as possible so he or she might be able to find someone to replace you as a tenant. Trying to find someone to take your spot yourself can also help, instead of leaving all the work to your landlord. Use social networking websites, put the word out there that you’re looking for someone to take over your lease, even put up a classified ad.
