Ten Benefits to Renting Over Buying

Here are our top ten reasons to rent instead of own:

1. Fancier Living: You may not ever be able to afford to own it, but with renting, you can enjoy that luxury condo overlooking the ocean.

2. Perks! : A lot of apartments come with community pools and gyms. My favorite thing about the apartment complex that I lived in during college was the massive swimming pool they had. My roommates and I would spend hours in the summer working on our tans, flirting with the cute neighbors, and sipping on margaritas juice. And think of all the money you'd save on gym memberships.

3. Water/Heat Included: Oftentimes, apartments

come with water and heat included, so that's less

bills that you have to keep up with. And the world

is simply better with less bills to pay.

4. No Need for Weeding: I've ever mowed a lawn.

Ever. I've never felt the hot summer sun on my

back as I pushed a heavy lawn mower across a

yard, drowning in my own disgusting sweat. Perks

of renting!

5. When the Move Bug Bites ...: While renting, the

worst case scenario is waiting a year to move.

Bad landlord? Peace out. Annoying neighbor?

Buh-bye! With a home it's a much stickier

process.

6. No Maintenance Background Needed: As I

mentioned before, whenever a pipe bursts or any

other maintenance issue comes up, I just place a

simple whiny call to my landlord and he comes

and fixes it while I awkwardly sit on my couch.

7. Momentarily Cheaper: There are a lot of us

financially struggling thanks to this economy, and

while it may be "money down the drain," I'm not

spending nearly as much as I would be on a

monthly mortgage.

8. Home Prices Fluctuate: Is it a buyers' market or

sellers' market right now? I have no idea,

because I don't have to know ... I rent!

9. No Risks: If you do try to sell your home during a bad economic time, you're at risk for losing money. But with renting, you (hopefully) get a nice deposit check back.

10. Property Taxes and Insurance: No taxes for renting, and renters' insurance is way cheaper than home owners' insurance.
