Which dreams did you have as a kid – job, holidays, children, property, marriage? Becoming an adult and having our own home to live in is a dream that is not so clear nowadays. Even if you want your own house, there are different options achievable such as renting. Looking at the long term, purchasing is always going to make more financial sense than renting. But don’t discount renting, renting a property can have advantages over buying.

Renting a House

Renting is one of the more uncomplicated ways of moving into your own property. You find a home you like and if the landlord likes you too, you have basically triumphed. You can move in and the property is now your home for a period of time. Don’t forget you are going to have to pay the rent each month and any security deposit straight away. If an object needs to be repaired, it is quite often the landlord who takes care of it (this, however, depends on the agreement you sign). Even improving the house is paid by the actual owner. You can only stay there as long as agreed in your contract and if it is not renewed you will have to move out, so that’s a big drawback. Regularly you do not have the option when you have to move out. Living in a property for a period of time makes it feel like your private space, so it could be upsetting if you have to move. This may appeal to some individuals who enjoy moving around. You are also not tied down once your agreement has expired, you are under no obligation to sign another and stay there. But with any good thing, there is always a negative point, one of the big ones with renting is you can’t do want you want with the property and would have to ask permission that could or could not be given.

Purchasing

To begin with it can be difficult. One of the big difficulties is that large loan you have had to take out which will probably take years to pay off. Then after the purchase itself, you may want to decorate the building to your own style. Including the mortgage charges, you have to pay fees for the property, all the improvement and upkeep costs and also home insurance. But the house is yours, your own and consequently a proud accomplishment. You can decorate it or refurbish it in anyway, it’s yours to do with as you please. You can do want you want to the property, within reason, you don’t have to get permission to enhance it. Be wary, though, in rare occurrences repairs may be very expensive even if they seem to be insignificant in the beginning. Unfortunately if you want to move it is going to be very troublesome when you compare how easy it is with rented accommodation. A big downside is you are going to need to sell it or rent it if you decide you want to move somewhere else. It could take a while to sell or rent, particularly if the market conditions are not very good. However, as somebody, who specializes in one of the most beautiful zones in GTA – Bridle Path neighbourhood – I believe with home ownership comes an exclusive taste!

If you can find a property where the rent is not too high, then renting rather than buying is better if you don’t want to stay in the same place too long. The economical outlay of buying a house takes at best a couple of years to start paying off. In the beginning, it appears like you only have to hand over money with no advantages.
