Buying VS Renting

NOTICE: To All Renters - Fire your landlord!

What's the difference between renting and throwing away your money? Nothing.

You need to pay to live somewhere, right. Why spend a big chunk of your pay check every month to build your landlord's equity instead of your own? Believe it. Owning can be as affordable as renting. Then isn't it only logical to invest in yourself, rather than making some landlord rich?

Let's look at a comparison of owning vs. renting, and we will let you be the judge.

Owning
  • Smart long term investment
  • More storage space
  • Room to grow
  • Your own back yard
  • Safe neighbourhood living
  • Pet friendly
  • You chose the colours
  • Multiple floor plans
  • It's your dream
  • Build equity
  • Sense of community
  • Free to change decor
  • Not dependent on landlord maintained
  • Appreciation
  • Tax free profit on sale
  • Mortgage free
  • Stability
  • Retirement fund
  • Property tax deduction
  • Borrow against equity
Renting
  • Short term waste of money
  • Inadequate storage space
  • Room to grow? Not so much
  • Backyard? Depends where you live
  • Safe neighbourhood? Depends
  • Do they accept pets?
  • The colours they have is what you get
  • Limited choice of floor plans
  • It's your landlords dream
  • Landlords equity
  • Not so much sense of community
  • Not always able to change decor
  • Landlords often say: Not too sure when I can get there
