After getting four calls today from clients wanting Escondido rentals and other San Diego North County rentals, I though I should address the subject,” to buy or to rent.” At one time or another, two question cross the minds of most renters.
- Should I be buying an Escondido home or moving into an Escondido rental?
- Could I afford to buy a San Diego North County home even if I wanted to?
If you are a renter and are considering your options about buying or continuing to rent your Escondido home, consider these steps. Ask yourself why you are considering making a change.
- Are you thinking of settling down from a life on the move where renting in the past had just seemed to be less restrictive than owning your own Escondido property?
- Do you have a growing family that needs more room than a reasonably priced Escondido rental would afford?
- Have you seen a steep increase in your monthly rent of your Escondido home?
- Have you started thinking about the merits of owning the American Dream.
- Are your friends getting large first-time tax credits for buying their own San Diego North County home.
