I have found a wonderful area to rent. The area is close to downtown, but still far enough away as to not be in the hustle and bustle of traffic. The business district is only minutes away allowing convenience in driving to work every day. It would be close to the schools for the kids and also in a safe and very well maintained and in the
nearby housing developments. In looking their are a variety of choices which are 3 and 4 bedroom and 2 bath home with its own yard and attatched garage or a townhouse that also has 3 and 4 bedroom and 2 bath with a garage. I find that renting may be a better investment, rather than purchasing due to the uncertainties of the economy right now. Their may always be a possibility of renting to own in the future for either of the properties. Taking the oppurtunity thru renting, allows the property to be maintained and property kept up by the landlord which also alleviates some worry and stress from taxes on a purchase, maintainance bills and also big costs associated with purchasing. When I rent the amoun is normally the 1st and last months rent which is the deposit. The cost is far lower and also not locked in except for the lease which is normally a year. I do believe that renting can be the answer for me and the property location and type will meet that important need I have at this time in my life.
