Re: Renting a Home
There are a few downsides to buying a home as opposed to renting one. I've lost two homes in my life because I was laid off from my job. I couldn't find a job in time to save the homes so I not only lost my home but my credit was ruined through no fault of my own. If you rent you don't lose your credit rating and can still apply elsewhere for living accommodations.Re: Renting a Home
I sometimes wonder if the culture of buying your own home is for me. Yes I own the house, will do soon I have hardly anything left on the mortgage but the upkeep etc could be expensive as the house ages. In fact I do think that but for my parents being here I would sell up and rent somewhere Bob's pluses are mine. I would be a good tennant. I think there is a lot to be said for renting....somewhere with a balcony would suit me fine somewhere to sit out as well as a place to put a pot, hang a hanging basket or two.Re: Renting a Home
We intend to rent when we get to the point we wish to `downsize`. I have no children and Linda`s are well grown up and working so nobody needs our assets.Re: Renting a Home
Because I have 2 children it is my wish to leave something for them when we are both gone, so I probably will never realise the capital in our house (even though its a tempting idea ).
