i thought this would make a good topic to write about as we have rented and bought a house. and this is just my thought and feelings on this subject.
okay for right now with mike being in the military renting a house is a whole lot better then buying one. yes you have to follow what is on the lease. yes you have to pay a deposit if you want to have a pet. and so on and so on but with moving around alot it is just easier.
now if mike wasnt in the military but had a good stable paying job we would be buying a house as buying a house is so much better then renting.
when you buy a house you can do anything you want to do that house. if you want to paint walls you can paint the walls in what ever color you want and if you ever move out you dont have to repaint them back to a white or loose your security deposit one. there is all kinds of things you can do if you owned a home vs to renting. so yes buying is so worth it if you are not moving around a whole lot. i am looking forward to the time when we will be able to buy a another house and wont be moving out of it again.
