What Are Three Cons To Renting?
From a tenants point of view there are several cons to renting a house. Namely you will have to leave the house at some pointe even if you do not want to. Secondly you are building equity for someone else and finally there are tax benefits to owning your own home you will not have.
- You Will Have To Move. If the rent price goes up at the end of your lease or if the owner decides to sell the home this can greatly effect your life. School zones, work areas and much more can get upended.
- Equity is principal value in a house. It takes time to build equity and the longer you own a home the more money goes to the principal each month. Buying the right home is a better idea if you plan on staying in an area for over 5 to 7 years.
- Tax Benefits you miss out on include homestead exemption. It is slightly complicated but getting a home classified as your homestead starts saving you money and keeping your property taxes from increasing immediately after it takes effect. Thank you for asking the question what are three cons to renting.
