Time For a Place of Your Own?

So, you are in your late twenties or early thirties and you are renting a basement apartment, a room or maybe an apartment in a building. You think to yourself that the rent is a manageable price and now is not the time to go all out and get a condominium or a house of your own. When is the right time then? As consumers we buy and buy smaller ticket items, but when it comes to the more crucial yet expensive purchases (Example-Houses, Cars) we are much more hesitant to take the proverbial plunge. Obviously that is good fiscal responsibility, but we also have to take risks to as well as think outside the box.


As most real estate agents can and will tell you there is something to be said for owning a condominium or house of some sort. Mortgage payments can sometimes be as reasonable as rent and once you have your own place the money you put in is going to you and not a landlord.
A good first step is to find a real estate agent to help you weigh your options and shows you what is on the market. This can definitely open up a world of opportunity for you and open your eyes to options.
