With mortgage rates at a thirty year low, there has never been a better time to buy a home.

Find out what the pros and cons are of buying versus renting.

Owning

 Building equity
 Value of home may increase over time
 Stable monthly mortgage costs*
 Build wealth
 Mortgage interest and real estate taxes may be tax deductible**
 Feeling of stability and permanency
 More privacy
 Freedom to live by your own rules
 Adapt home to fit personal needs

VERSUS 

Renting

 Renter does not gain equity
 An increase in the value of rental property may lead to higher rent
 Rent payments can increase each year
 No mortgage interest or real estate taxes are paid directly by the renter, so renter may not take deductions
 Leases to be renewed, depending on landlord
 Close neighbors, landlord intrusion
 Must live by landlord rules
 Must negotiate any changes with landlord

In my opinion, there are so many advantages of homeowners ship. If you are currently in the service and receive housing payments you can turn your BAH into an investment. No need to paying your BAH to your landlord and making your landlord rich, but trust me landlords will love getting your housing allowance and at the end of your tour, you will not have any of the funds in your pocket. By buying a home you can add the BAH into the equity of your home and cash out after or turn your home into an investment property.

If you own pets it is so much easier to own your own home versus renting. I currently have a dog and two cats, if I had to rent a home there wouldn’t be many landlords that are accepting 3 pets. You should definitely consider buying a home if you have pets or you are thinking about adopting pets.
