Overall, there are some pros and cons between renting and buying. Some
pros about renting is the monthly payment is smaller compared to the 30 year
loans monthly payment. Also a years worth of monthly paying is less than a
years worth of a 30 year loans monthly payments. Also renting if you only plan to
live there for a few years renting is a better option. Some cons of renting is that
the monthly payments you give one day you will not be able to own the home,
since you chose to rent the home. By choosing to buy the home, has some pro as
well. Some pros of buying a home is the monthly payments you give goes
towards the home and one day you will be able to own the home. Another pro of
buying a home is financially your payments are going towards the home and not
being wasted. A con of buying is if you do not plan to live there for more than a
few years, you took out a loan for no reason. Overall, both sides of renting and
buying have their pros and cons. It depends how financially stable you are at the
point of you life to decide if you want to rent or buy. Buying a home id good if
you plan to live in the home for many reason. Renting is also a good option if you
plan to only live there for a few years.

REFLECTION

Home Buying Project

Lisa Monge

November 1, 2016

Overall, what I learned in this project is that buying a home is expensive.

Not only do you have to pay mortgage payments, but also other monthly
payments that go towards your living expensive. This project showed that
owning a home is more expensive than renting a home. My feelings toward
owning a home now is living on your own is far more expensive than I thought it
would be. Monthly payments add up which ends up being a lot money. If I were
move put I would most likely rent, because its cheaper to rent a home, and since
I wouldnt plan to live forever in my first home it would make more sense to rent
now doing this project. Even though the numbers a slightly different, it still
makes a difference in all the monthly payments.
