I will be signing to get a house for the first time. Rent is great if you dont have to much saved up and dont plan on being where you are at for to long but if you stay there longer than a year. You have nothing to show for the money you have paid towards rent. Rent is good for short term but long term buying a house will always be better. Here is a great website to use that is free to check out what they have listed for sale in Utah. It even gives the name and phone number of the selling a

Me and my fiance are building our first house and even though it has been a very stressful process I am glad that we are putting our money towards something that is ours and we can eventually get our money back if we decide to move. I feel that with renting you are basically throwing your money away because you will never see a return from your investment.

I totally agree that buying is a good thing however it isn't right for everyone. You need to be sure that you aren't being talked into anything, but that you are making your own decision.

The biggest advice that I can give is that when you decide it is the right time to buy a house (and this time is different for everyone) don't even consider looking at houses that are out of your price range. You will end up falling in love with them and than when you look at houses that are in your price range you will only be able to see what it doesn't have that the other house does have. Set your sights on houses in your price range and you will be so much happier with it.

My wife and I have been debating on wether to buy a house or keep renting. There are some nice incentives out there to get you to buy. I would suggest that you dont rush it. Make sure that you will be able to afford a hosue payment and all the other little things that come with buying a house.

It a hard chose to rent or buy. There are a lot of things to consider before making a decision

ugh. I have been renting for tooo long! It's time to put that money into my own mortgage, not someone elses!

having a house with a white picket fence is the american dream. make sure you do everything before hand to prepare to make that dream come true. go talk to a mortgage loan officer now and they will tell you how to start preparing yourself.

Buying a home is a SOOO much better than renting and now is an awesome time to buy, but be smart. SAVE! You have a better chance getting the lending you need and the house you want if you have a down payment.

It took our family a while to decide to buy a home. I'm really glad we did. It's amazing how fast you can build equity with the right upgrades to your home.
