Still Renting?
Austin, Texas is one of the most outrageous markets in
the U.S. for renting. The average rent in Austin has gone
up over 70% in the last 10 years and it doesn't look like
this trend is going to end any time soon. If you can afford
to pay rent in Austin, chances are you can afford your
own home.
In reality, you are throwing money away while you rent.
You might as well be  depositing
your paychecks into your apartment complex dumpster instead
of your bank accounts. In Austin you can almost guarantee
that your rent will increase every time your lease is
up.
When you own your own home you typically are on a fixed
payment for 30 years. Think you can find a rental property
anywhere in this universe that will not raise your rent
in 30 years? In Austin it seems like rent goes up every
30 seconds.
While landlords and apartment complexes are raising your
rent are they upgrading your unit to justify the increase
in rent? While you stop laughing, think about this. Let's
say your complex raises your rent 5% every year (that
is a modest figure). If you owned your own home and were
on a fixed payment for 30 years you could theoretically
increase your payment 5% each year also but instead of
putting it into your old landlords thick wallet you put
that additional money in your own savings account. If
your mortgage payment is $1000, you would have put away
$600 in the first year! Keep increasing that like the
landlords and apartment complexes do and just think of
the upgrades you could do in 10 years!
The truth is, you can buy a lovely home, in a great neighborhood,
for zero or a very low down payment, and enjoy monthly
payments of LESS than rent.
We specialize in helping people who are currently renting
to own their own lovely homes with super-low down payments
and low monthly payments.
