It's very difficult to buy a house, do you think rent a house better than buy?

buying a house is an investment. my husband and i rented an apartment for two years now, although we are comfortable in our apartment but living in your own house really makes you feel better. Now that we have finally bought a new house and hopefully we can move in the middle of next year!

In my honest opinion I think renting a house is better than buying it. I can think of these reasons why renting is better than buying:

1. When there are items to be repaired, then you don't pay for it. The landlord does.
2. You can easily transfer to another place if you want a new scenario or is taking a job in another place.
3. No taxes that needs to be paid.
4. No mortgages.
5. Renting a house has a lesser responsibility than buying it.
6. No maintenance, overhaul costs to be incurred.

Of course! It depends on the situation though.

However, having a house means we can have extra income through it.
Consider it like this, you have house A located near town with estimated rent value at about $2,000 per annum. Then you can rent your house which bost your income to $2,000, and then you go rent other house (maybe it smaller or located farther) with rent value at about $1,000 per annum. Voila! You have just make an extra $1,000 income from your house.

It is just one case though. I agree with other people comments that it is pretty hard nowadays to buy a house. Well, if we are low on budget then rent a house would be a better solution. We don't have to pay for housing tax, nor we should pay for renovation (depends on agreement also). But if you have extra money, then buying a house would be a great investment (for your own living or just rent it to other)

Of course i hope to have my own house and i hope to marry a rich husband.But i love that guy very much then this are not big deal and i can live with him in renting houses and eventhough he is not rich enough it's also OK.In my heart love is the most importand and most romantic thing.I will never marry a man only because of money.

Well, its nice to stay in a rented house and save money to build a house, though it could take a lot of time and effort.Yuo might have to dave a lot, work extra and so on to pull your resources, but then its still worth the deal.But with effort, you could buy a house.Thanks!

It depends on your needs if you'll buy or just rent a house. If you are working far from your family house or if you prefer to live by your own, want to live in that place for long time and you have the budget I guess better buy/loan for a house. But if you are the type that's going to move or won't stay there for long time and budget is an issue, better rent.

In my case, I just applied for a loan in a developed lot and don't plan to build a house yet since me and my wife aren't there to stay. I just pay the monthly loan fee for the span of 10 years (took a reasonable loan duration and monthly payment) for the lot. For the meantime, we just rent an apartment that suit us and our budget. Our priority is to have savings and at the same time have invest/loan purchase a property. Property (real estate) is better investment than cars since the value keeps getting higher in long time.

Hao!

As for my opinion, buying a house is better than renting one. First disadvantage of renting is that you can't just easily customize the whole place, the way you wanted it to. Second, even if you spend a lifetime paying and remaining loyal to your landlord, anytime that he or she feels he or she needs the space, they can always ask you to leave. And third, why think of renting a place that could never be yours. There are new projects nowadays called rent-to-own houses. You pay the same price as like renting and at the same time own the place after putting effort on it.

I say buying money is better than paying rent. Because always rented house will be rented and own house will be own house. I mean to say, if you have a own house it would be as a property for your children and for their children also. Not only that, staying in own house will give peace of mind. I feel every one should have their own house.

Well, I think everyone's dream is to have a house of their own. A dream house for the family. But the sad thing is that it is so expensive to buy a house or build a house, most especially nowadays with the current situation. So for most people, they end up renting a house and hoping that one day there would be enough savings to build or buy a house of their own.

For me, I guess you have to buy a house than to rent. Renting a house maybe a waste of money. Days are easily gone by, so I would rather work very hard just to buy house rather than to rent.

Ok??
