The argument over renting versus buying includes advantages and disadvantages, when you think about job security and the ability to commit to anything, for a long-term. When you decide to rent, you aren’t locked into a large financial commitment, such as a mortgage loan you can’t afford. Those that are presently working may not be confident their present position will provide stable income, in the months to come. Lay-offs and cut-backs can wreck havoc on a family’s budget.

Here are some of the pros to renting that many people consider. One is that when you rent, there are many things you don’t have to deal with as opposed to buying. One of them is that any property maintenance is done by the landlord. This means you don’t have to worry about mowing the lawn, making sure the sidewalks and drives are clear of snow and debris. In addition, because your maintenance is taken care of, there is no buying expensive equipment.

If your furnace breaks down or your pipes start leaking, a home rental allows you to make a phone call and the problem becomes the responsibility of the landlord-owner. As a homeowner, you will be faced with urgent and unexpected expenditures and you may not have them in your budget. If your rental house becomes too intolerable or your lease renewal includes a rent increase, you can choose to live someplace else, with little notice or inconvenience. Maintaining your home rental will allow you to get any damage escrow money returned.

One the other hand, renting does have its disadvantages. You are not building equity, and don’t have any money to show for the years you have rented. You have to get permission from your landlord in order to make any changes, like painting or rearranging the landscape. You are also dependent on your landlord fixing things in a timely manner. They can also raise the rent, and even evict you if they want.

Buying a house also has its pros and cons. Buying a house costs more initially, but every payment you make, part of it goes to principle so you are building equity in your home. You can do whatever you want to your home, within reason, so you can repaint the walls, make additions, and change the landscape. If something breaks down, you can replace it with higher energy efficient appliances. Your home is more secure, because you are in charge.

On the other hand, buying a home can be expensive, and not just to move in. If there is a problem of some kind, you are responsible for fixing it. You have to keep you lawn maintained, as well as keep the drive and sidewalks clear in the Winter. If you are part of some kind of HOA, then you have to get permission to do anything on your property. If something happens financially, and you end up going into foreclosure, you run the risk of losing everything, including any equity, as well as your good credit rating.

One of the other things you have to consider when buying a home is that you have to buy extra things for the home. You may have to buy a lawn mower and other yard equipment. Any major problems you have to deal with and pay out of pocket expenses. This can include things like problems with plumbing and electrical.

If you are faced with the argument of whether to rent instead of buy, you just have to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each option. In addition, your personal financial situation and your occupational future should be analyzed. It’s better to purchase a home if your job is secure and you plan to stay in your home for a few years. For those with a less-assured future in their occupation, it may be better to wait out the current economic conditions and rent a home, just in case you need to alter your lifestyle because of lay-off, demotion or relocation.

Those who are seeking a good deal on a property have several options. Typically buying a foreclosure or a short sale is something that people readily think of, but not many consider the purchase of a bank owned property.

For your information, a bank owned property and a foreclosure property are not the same thing. The foreclosure property means that the property is in the process of being taken back by the financial institution, but banked owned means that it has already happened and the bank now has title to the property.

If you take a closer look at bank owned properties you can typically get a very good deal on them. It means that you’ve got to expend a little effort, but you can get a better deal in many cases if you take a few simple steps to attempt it.

Lowering the Cost of a Bank Owned Property.

While you are already most likely getting a solid price on the cost of the house, you can still try a few other things to help you to lower the price for which the bank will permit you to buy the the home. One of the best ways to get a lower price on the house that you’re looking at is to try to view houses that have been on the market for in excess of three months. Keeping to those houses normally means that the bank is more concerned with getting the house sold and out of their own hands. If the house that you’re interested in has been on the market for an extended period of time, the bank may be more willing to entertain your offers and take a slightly lower price for the house.Banks do not own properties and houses because they want them. They own homes that they’ve had to repossess and they own them for as short a time span as possible, selling them off as rapidly as they can.

When you are negotiating with the bank, make your offer about 20 per cent below what the bank’s price is. There is no guarantee that they will accept your offer, but chances are they are as eager to get rid of the property as you are to have it. You’re going to have a very good chance that they will accept your offer if you are firm in your commitment and tell them that you won’t go higher.

Older Homes or Handyman Specials.

Normally the older houses or the ones that need a little TLC will go a lot cheaper. You may have to spend a little cash to get the house fixed up the way you want it, but the reality is that you can usually spend less on fixing the house than you saved on the purchase so it does make the negotiation worth your time. It may not be as well dressed as other houses for sale, but you can make it so in just a little time and effort.
