STOP Renting!

First Time Home Buyer | Stop Renting | Rent vs Own | Rent as MortgageDon’t Pay Another Cent In RENT! Stop Paying your Landlord’s mortgage!

 

If you can afford to RENT it is very likely with today’s mortgage products, such as 5% Down, Cash Back and Free Down Payment mortgages and RENT To Own programs, that you could own your very own home NOW, even with Bruised Credit. With mortgage Rates still at historical lows, there may be no better time than now to get that dream home.

It is time to Stop using your Hard Earned Dollar to Pay for Someone Else’s mortgage. Do you know how much money you are putting into your Landlord’s pocket every year? Most renters don’t realize how much money they are giving up every single year by not owning and continuing to RENT. If they did, they would find a solution to the most common excuses for not owning your very own home. Some of these excuses are:

  • I’m not spending that much in RENT.
  • The process of buying is too complicated.
  • I was declined by my bank so I gave up trying.
  • I don’t have the thousands of dollars necessary for a down-payment.
  • My credit is too bad.

These are all seemingly valid reasons. Renting and saving for a down-payment is very difficult for most people.  For some, they are able to save but still find themselves losing ground to an ever increasing housing market. Some still believe that the bank is the end all  be all for mortgage loans.

Take a look at the charts below. Determine how much you are paying in RENT and compare it to what you could buy for the same RENT. Then ask yourself this. If there is a solution to get me owning today, would I do it? If the answer is yes. Then call or email for  your very own free no-obligation analysis and get on the path to owning today.
