There are some renters who haven’t purchased a home yet because they’re uncomfortable taking on the obligation of a mortgage. Everyone should realize that, unless you’re living rent-free with your parents, you’re paying a mortgage – either yours or that of your landlord.

Today, rental prices continue to increase, and when you’re paying your landlord’s mortgage instead of your own, you’re not the one earning the equity. As an owner, your mortgage payment is a form of ‘forced savings’ you can use later in life to reinvest in your family. You can use it for a variety of opportunities, such as saving for your children’s education, moving up to a bigger home, or starting your own business. As a renter, it can be more challenging to achieve those types of dreams without home equity work for you.

So, buying a home sooner rather than later could lead to substantial savings and long-term financial growth for you and your family. Reach out to a local real estate professional to determine if homeownership is the right choice for you this year.

You may ask as a realtor, what makes me special? Here is my answer!!!

Paul Levine, What makes me special? I am probably the only Realtor in the State of California who was a practicing Certified Public Accountant for over 50 years before becoming a Realtor. My analytical skills are second to none and I still take CPA classes to keep up with the current tax laws and Real Estate investing. I was also an Associate Professor at a local University for 6 1/2 years and I negotiated many deals as a CPA including the sale of one of my clients to E I DuPont!!! I am 73 years old with the passion of a teenager but the knowledge and experience that no one else has!!! THAT'S WHY I AM SPECIAL!!!
