Pros of Buying

Stabilize your payments

When you own you don’t have to deal with the landlord raising the rent. Monthly payments are relatively fixed throughout the course of the loan.

Have a secure place for your family to live

Your home provides a permanent place for your family to live as opposed to having to move out of your rental because the landlord has decided to sell.

Gain a Sense of Community

Home owners are more involved in the well being of their community, working together with their neighbors for better schools and less crime.
