Is it time to stop filling your Landlord’s Wallet?
By: Josh DorkinAs a renter, you are subject to the whims of your landlord. They work at their own pace, and improve their property as they see fit. You have no control over the property that you reside in. Do your floors need to be resurfaced or your carpets replaced? Sit around and wait for your landlord to do it. Do your walls need to be repainted? Ask the landlord.
It sometimes feels like youre living at home with mom and dad again, doesnt it?
So, its just easier to keep paying rent, right? Dont forget . . . the landlord can raise rent on you over time.
You can afford your own home!
Unfortunately, most people fear that qualifying for a loan will never happen. This is not true. Competition between lenders has increased drastically, causing them to come up with more and more products. There is likely a product out there to help you afford your own home! You just have to do some work and find the right information.
While owning your own home may take some work, it is certainly worth it
* You can deduct the cost of your mortgage interest from your taxes
* Closing costs involved with the purchase of your home, and property taxes are often deductible
* Historically, real estate prices have been cyclical, but over the long term, prices have generally risen.
Think about it . . . if you pay $600 a month, your landlord ends the year with $7,200 of income from you alone. After five years, thats $36,000 that youve paid out (odds are your rent would have gone up over that period, so the amount youve paid out is likely much higher.) From this money, your landlord is not only getting income, but also getting tax deductions, business write-offs, and capital appreciation. Youre busy making him rich! Dont get me wrong, you did have a place to sleep at night . . .
Okay, so I definitely have an opinion here. Do whatever you can to get out there and find a home to buy! You and your wallet will thank me.
Remember: Make sure you do not stretch yourself too thin with your payments. Buy only what you can afford. Be sure to consult with an attorney or accountant to protect yourself.

Here is some free advise to anyone blogging here that owns a home and needs some extra cash for whatever reason, good credit or bad. Someone recommended http:\\thehomemortgageguide.com and out of curiosity I went to Home Mortgage Guide and discovered that they offer free credit reports and credit repair. They also give you a quote of exactly what you qualify for if you are looking for a good or bad credit mortgage with or without debt consolidation. The rates are low and they offer all kinds of programs depending on your situation. The best part is that it's free to find out what you qualify for. What could be better than great service at no cost? I'll tell you what, a low interest rate, which is what I got at http:\\thehomemortgageguide.com. Thanks for the tip!
Everyone has such a different opinion about things, it's amazing. I can understand that though. Since you guys all have such varied opinions, you may not know that at Custom Mortgage you can find some good info on important stuff at http:\\www.customortgage.net like mortgage interest rates and how you can consolidate your credit card debts and avoid bankruptcy if you own real estate.
Great Blog! I love to see informative sites and active discussion. I have bookmarked this site so I can check in from time to time. If you have a chance check out this site http:\\www.customortgage.net which has alot of valuable info on Real estate loans Thanks again for the Blog
