30-year mortgage • Payments go mostly • toward interest for first • 15 years • Total interest will be • almost as much as the • sticker price of the house I love it MLS#1163452
15-year mortgage -I don’t love it -Looks like it may need some repairs -Interest rate is lower -Payments always go mostly toward principal so equity builds quickly -Can sell or rent out if income goes up MLS#1171354
Renting -I don’t love it -I may be tempted to spend “extra” money instead of saving toward house -None of rent builds equity -No big repair costs -Can take my time To find a home I love AND can afford to buy using a 15-year mortgage -Makes it easy to move if I need to change locations A 2-bedroom unit in a 4-plex
Remember that the purchase of a property may be an investment as well. So it the property is purchased to be rented out, or to be developed at a further date, I would be wise to consider what would work best for the investor.
