If you are thinking of moving into your first owned property then this can be a dubious time. More and more people these days are spending time renting, while more people still are spending time living with their parents and not stepping out onto the property ladder. Why do they do this? Well partly it is often due to the comforts provided by Mummy dearest – why move out when you can get breakfast in bed and your clothes ironed for you? Then again it might be because you are afraid and you aren't sure if you could live on your own or with a friend without going insane, and then sometimes it might be because of the finances and you might be wondering whether you can actually afford to get your own piece of real estate and particularly in the current economic climate where so many people are currently struggling with jobs. Never has it been harder for a young person to assemble the finances they need to get on the property ladder and many of the current laws don't help to make it any easier.
With that said, getting some real estate is a very good idea and if you're currently renting or living at home then it's a great idea to look around homes for sale and to start considering moving out. Here we will look at why.
First of all, if you are renting then this is simply a waste of money. While you might enjoy the idea of renting and of having the ability to up and leave whenever you want, it also means funneling money into a landlord and not getting any back. Rent is a fee that goes to the property owner and you will never get it back meaning it's a huge drain on your resources. However if you own your own real estate and you are paying a mortgage instead of rent then you are simply paying money toward owning your own property. This in turn means that you are able to buy something with value that you could sell in the future to earn that value back. And better yet, the real estate you buy will go up in value and faster than any bank account. This then means basically that you aren't losing the money you pay into the house, but rather keeping it safe and growing it and this then means that bills and taxes are your only outgoings. This way you are far more financially stable and are saving huge amounts of money over time rather than losing them.
And at the same time owning a house is a highly rewarding and much more pleasant experience – it's better than renting and it's certainly better than living with your parents. This way you have a whole house to do with as you please, you can come and go as you want and not worry about waking your Mum or the person in flat five, and at the same time you can hammer nails into the wall anywhere you want. It's liberating, it's exciting and it's financially smart.
