Should you be thinking about buying a home over Renting?

With rents are increasing and predicted to keep increasing into 2017 there is a lot of talk about why it can be a better idea to buy a home instead of rent.
But it’s not just about the money when deciding to buy over rent. When you buy, you gain more flexibility with what you can do to your own property. Paint the wall, make improvements and additions all of these option open up without the added expanse of having to change them back when you end your lease.
When you buy you get control of how long you want to live in your home. You don’t have to worry about resigning leases, or rent increases. You also don’t have to worry about added fees for furry additions to your life!
When you rent a home no matter what happens with the value of that home you will never gain equity in it. You also don’t get to enjoy any of the tax advantages the come with home ownership.
