Why rent when you can buy Fort Wayne Indiana real estate?

Are you getting tired of paying your monthly rent with nothing in the bank to show for it? Believe it or not, you are not alone. The question becomes, what are you going to do about it? Paying rent every month has a couple of flaws to it-first your rent can go up, and second, your not building any equity. Fort Wayne is one of the best places to buy a home in the country. We have been ranked for years as having one of the lowest costs of livings. So why do so many choose to pay their landlords mortgage payment each month, rather then choosing to invest in their own futures? I think the answer to many of these questions is that their maybe some misconceptions that paying rent is cheaper then paying a mortgage. After all you don’t have to pay property taxes or home owners insurance. Well owning a home is more affordable then you may think.

Many prospecting home owners question their ability to afford a home, and choose to first rent, but ten years later they can still be found in their cramped apartments. The reality is that you can’t afford not to buy a home. Over the last 10 years, the cost of rental housing in the U.S has increased an average of 3 percent per year. That means that an apartment or home renting for $1,000 per month will cost more than $1300 in ten years. If you rent the same home for ten years, the total amount you would pay for rent will equal $137,567! That’s a very nice home in Fort Wayne! 

What many renters don’t take into consideration is the tax advantages of owning a Fort Wayne home. None of the $137,567 is ever returned to you, either through savings or as an investment. Unlike your monthly rent payment, part of your mortgage payment comes back to you in tax deductions. For example, if you buy a Fort Wayne home for $200,000, with a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at 6.5% interest your monthly payment after all of your savings would only be $1,104 for the life of the loan. That’s 30 years. What will your rent be in 30 years? But the savings don’t stop here. You also have to take into account appreciation. According to The National Association of Realtors home values rises on average of 4.5% per year.  What this means is that your homes value after 30 years is going to be worth more then double what you originally paid for it. Thus in 30 years or when ever you choose to sell your Fort Wayne home you will make a hefty profit. If you take into account this profit and apply it towards your yearly mortgage payments, it will decrease the total amount of payments per year to $1,566, versus the annual rent of $12,000, which you can’t sell in 30 years.
