FTMDaily.com – One question that we recieve often is: “Is It Better To Rent Or Buy A House?”
Like most financial questions, the answer greatly depends upon several factors, including:
Your own personal financial situation and future goals
How long you plan to live in the home
How quickly prices and rents are rising in your area
Your personal investment outlook and risk profile
Etc…
However, in our current economic environment, the question of whether to rent or buy a house also depends on your location. For example, if you live in a major coastal city like San Francisco or New York City where housing costs are outrageous, buying a house could be extremely cost-prohibitive.
Fortunately, Realtytrac has created the above map to address this important question.
