Hey everyone,
I keep hearing the classic question: Should I rent or buy a home?
It’s a tough decision and honestly depends on a lot of money, lifestyle, plans, and even where you live.
Renting is great if you want flexibility, lower upfront costs, and don’t want to worry about repairs. But you’re basically paying someone else’s mortgage and can face rent hikes.
Buying means building equity and having control over your space, but it comes with big upfront costs, maintenance, and less freedom to move quickly. What’s worked for you?
Are you renting now and thinking about buying? Or did you buy and wish you’d rented longer? Especially if you’re in Illinois, local taxes and programs can tip the scales. Would love to hear your experiences and advice!
