Buying versus Renting

By avalonrealestate

This is a buyer’s market yet many people do not believe they can achieve the American dream.  Granted, not everyone is able to go out a buy a home tomorrow.  However, with planning and determination your dreams can become a reality. 

I’m so excited to be partnering with John Balauat, Mortgage Planner,John Balauat on a series of free seminars devoted to educating people on why it makes sense to buy versus rent. 

We held our first of the series this week at the Orange County Library Alafaya Branch.  The group was small which allowed for great interaction.  John’s presentation included discussion on

ü      The True Cost of Renting

ü      The Tax Advantages of Home Ownership

ü      The True Facts About the Housing Market

ü      The Difference Homeownership Can Make on Your Overall Net Worth!

ü      How to Raise Your Credit Score 100 Points in 45 Days!

John told the audience a story of a single mom he had helped obtain a home mortgage — the “right” mortgage for her so she can build many happy memories with her children in this home.  She was not aware that she could even qualify for a mortgage.  His point was that many people believe the myths without ever taking a moment to speak to a professional.  If you take the time to seek out the right professional, they can put you on a path to achieving the goal.

Our goal is public education on the home buying process.  We will be conducting two free seminars each month for the remainder of the year.  Feel free to learn more about our upcoming events. Or feel free to contact John or I directly to set up a free consultation.  We are here to help!

    The “true cost of renting, eh”

    Did John discuss the true cost of financing a depreciating asset?

    Hi RM,

    Our seminar was about homeownership, which is an appreciating asset not depreciating. Our market in Orlando is seeing a price correction which is a normal response to the unusually high volume we experienced several years ago. Not sure where you are or what your local market is like but I’d love to learn more and continue this dialogue.
