Leasing
Here For All Of Your Real Estate Needs
Some Of The Top Reasons People Lease Versus Buy:
- Flexibility- Renting offers more flexibility and mobility allowing people to relocate if need be without going through the process of selling your home first.
- Cost- Renting can be cheaper than buying in some cities, and it requires a smaller portion of wages than homeownership.
- Zero cost for repairs- Renters don't have the responsibility of paying for unexpected repairs, as they can call their landlord or property management to fix any issues that arise at any given time.
- No down payment- Renting doesn't require a sizeable down payment instead a deposit is usually required but in some cases property management or landlords will offer promotions like first month free or half off the first month rent.
- Live a minimalist lifestyle- Renting can help people practice minimalism by allowing them to rent what they need temporarily, rather than owning a lot of possessions that makes it difficult to pack up and sort thru in the event you decide to relocate.
SUMMARY
At times, people who lease versus own property are looked down upon for not investing thier money the way others feel they should. People choose to lease versus buying property for various reasons. If you are currently leasing or thinking about doing so, please do not allow others to make you feel less than for making the choice to lease.
Let’s be honest, life has a way of throwing us unexpected curveballs and we have to learn to adapt quickly- jobs change, relationships evolve, and sometimes you just wake up one day and decide that you want a new vibration and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!
Having to deal with repairs, maintenance, unexpected costs and everything else that comes with homeownership may not be for everyone at this time in their lives so it’s perfectly understandable if you seek less responsibility and financial flexibility by not committing to a mortgage and allowing you to rent the space that you need temporarily until you are fully ready to commit to a mortgage.
In the meantime, you have the ability to explore different areas before deciding to buy! Choose a great condo, town home with minimum landscape upkeep or a luxury apartment with 24 hr conciere, amazing skyline views with great facility amenities OR a rental home in a quiet neighborhood- perhaps one with a Lakeview or in a golf community. The choice is yours!
So if you are looking for freedom, a simpler life and financial flexibility, leasing may be the best option for you and I would love to help you secure a lease that fit your personal needs and lifestyle.
