Owning vs Renting

Make a smart long-term investment. You are in control of your monthly payments, and each mortgage payment you make goes towards building a nest egg for your family. Rent payments disappear forever.
Gain security and a place to create memories. Your landlord can decide to not renew your lease whenever they please with little notice and you will have to find a new place to live.
Your children can enjoy playing in your yard. Your children must play in the parking lot.
Go ahead, decorate. Live with the wallpaper and flowered fabric sofa.
Cultivate a beautiful garden. Water a couple of potted plants.
Do laundry whenever you feel like it. Forage for quarters each week and travel to the laundromat.
Park your car in a 2-car garage. Search for parking on the street.
You have space for your family to grow and plenty of storage space. Your children share a room and storage space is overflowing.
Your pets have a yard to play in. Your pets are unwelcome.
