RENTING IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR WEALTH!

It may seem like "the impossible dream" to first-time buyers who have to stretch their budgets in order to purchase their first home. Many young buyers can afford the monthly mortgage payments, but they may have to get creative to cover the down payment and closing costs.

If you are thinking about buying your first home, contact one of our dedicated real estate professionals at Schwind Realty & Development. If your funds are limited, there are other options you can consider, such as no money down programs or federal loan programs that can get you moved into your new home. Sellers are sometimes willing to provide closing cost credit or extend a small loan to help cover closing costs in order to complete the sale.

Another item to consider is “the many housing options” available. If you aren't sure you can afford a single-family home, there are beautiful condominiums and townhouses with amenities and prices that are designed to appeal to first-time buyers.

An important part of our job, here at Schwind Realty & Development is to educate prospective buyers about the potential benefits and responsibilities of renting versus owning a home. We can help you determine your purchasing power and show you the best homes in your price range. We can also give you a side-by-side comparison of owning a home compared with what you pay for rent. Furthermore when you own and tailor your home to suit your needs and taste, you benefit from the added value of the improvements instead of the landlord!
