Is it better to rent or buy? Renting might seem lighter on the monthly budget, but owning a home is an investment in you long term! Homeownership builds wealth at every income tier. Equity isn't just a concept; it grows over time. With each mortgage payment, you are not just reducing what's owed; you are elevating your net worth. In fact, National Association of Realtors President, Kevin Sears, says, "A typical homeowner has a net worth of 40x that of a typical renter". Invest wisely; your future self will thank you!
