What do you think? Is it better to rent or buy in today’s market? People often see houses as assets, but let’s be real: most of us won’t sell our homes just to cash out. Your house becomes a lifestyle bank—a source of security and stability, not necessarily a moneymaker. 💭 Here’s the reality: Mortgage payments today are HUGE compared to income. Most of what you pay is interest, meaning you're not building equity as fast as you think. There's a difference between qualifying for a loan and truly affording the home. In today’s market, with sky-high payments, renting might actually make more sense for some. 💡 #homebuying #rentvsbuy #realestatetips #mortgagemyths #financialfreedom #housingmarket
