4 Perks of Buying a Home Over Renting

When you have been renting housing for most of your adult life, choosing to buy your first home is a big decision and it shouldn't be entered into lightly. You need to be financially ready to cover unexpected repairs on a home that could cost thousands of dollars. There are many benefits to home ownership. There are things that you possibly won't have to worry about as much when you own a home vs. renting one. Here are a few perks, from the best real estate agent at the Lake of the Ozarks to owning your home over renting.



4 Perks of Buying a Home Over Renting


Perk # 1
You can make physical changes to the home.
When you are renting your home out from a landlord, typically you are not allowed to make any physical changes, such as painting the walls or building an additional room on. You wouldn't want to anyway because you would be making changes to someone else's property. When you move out, your money for those changes would have been invested in someone else's project. Let your creativity fly with your very own home that you own!

Perk # 2
When choosing where to buy, you can potentially control how far your nearest neighbor can live away from you.
It can be very annoying when you are renting property and you either have the nosiest neighbors or just live next to inconsiderate people altogether. When you choose where to buy your home, you could pick a house that is surrounded by many acres of land, to where you essentially control how far your neighbors can live away from you, because you own so much land surrounding your house.

Perk # 3
You can be making a smart investment.
Real estate can be a very rewarding investment. For example, once you buy your home, you could actually be adding value to it by the modifications you may make. When you decide to sell, you may even be able to get more money for it than what you initially bought it for.

A house is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.



Perk # 4
Make your own rules.
Renting can come with a lot of rules, set forth by your landlord. For example, your landlord may have a policy on how many pets you can have or how many guests you are allowed to have over. When you own your own home, you make your own rules and can typically have as many pets or guests as you want.
