The an er i ye! 0 nin«
y ur wn home i on of the
be t ways of building fmancial
succe (especially at ch a
young age. Let's take a 100 at
. why:
You can buy many
propertie especially H D and
VA rep ssessions for a little
as 500.00 down payment.
2 When you own as you
make mortgage payments you
are building more and more
equity (ownership). When you
rent, you are really paying the
apartment owner's mortgage and
helping to build his/her wealth.
3 When you own, you will
most likely e the property
appreciate (go up in value.
For example a friend of mine
purchased a home in 1970
for 12000 when he w s .. 1
years old. He i now 37 years
old and the property i n
worth 32 000. in hi
mortgage i paid off he nly
had to pay for 15 years. He
has something he can sell the
hom and make ab u t 32 000
dear. If h ould have tayed
in an partment f r th
years he w uld have n thing
to sh for all th money
I sugge y u cont
lea t 5 realtor and tell
that you are intere ted in
purchasing a home. They will
sh you around and answer
all y ur que tion. It' I e
1) rung free educati n! I
I in the newspaper
po ible buy. The b t time
to start is now! GOOD LUCK.
