I rent my home
Paying rent can be hard. Your cost of living keeps increasing, but your income does not. You may need to pay rent upfront or before you get your monthly paycheck.
I want to buy a home
Trying to purchase a home is a challenge. You don’t know if you can afford a down payment, if you qualify for a mortgage, or how much you can reasonably expect to pay each month.
I own my home
Keeping your home is a struggle. You have monthly mortgage payments, ever-rising maintenance fees and an income that may just not cover all your expenses.
Others are moving to rural, less developed areas.
But you want to stay in the place you feel comfortable.
