[Scrappy]

im with paul, rent is not worth it in the longterm. ... 1100 for 2br, 21/2bth, 2story townhouse in alpharetta.

[4dmin]

You do what you have to to survive, though. Later, QD.

there is a difference in surviving and being stupid, if you have good credit and are currently paying over $900+ a month in rent then you are just dumb. I can see if you have a temp situation to try things out like: just moving out on your own, or moving in w/ your girl to see if things work. But $900+ a month up in the suburbs can get you a nice home. If your going to throw away that amount of money a month it should be in something you can call yours ;)

[AtifSajid]

Does that include property tax? Fulton county rapes me. :(

[speedminded]

My mortgage is a hair over $1k (+ $160 or so PMI :rant:but includes the taxes and insurance) for 3 bedrooms/2.5 bath, garage, and detached shop/garage. Not as close to work as the place in midtown but costing me less for alot more and i'll actually get the money back one day...write-off on taxes too (homestead exemption)...add in how much money we're making on side jobs in the shop and it's practically paying for itself.

[speed]

$450, half of 6 bedroom house in the countryyyy. jackson, ga.

3 empty bedrooms, for rent still :D

[Jaimecbr900]

Does that include property tax? Fulton county rapes me. :(

I can answer that for him....yes it does. He lives in Gwinnett and the mill rate there aint much better.

He just had a hellava LENDER that gave him a hellava rate, so prop taxes aint that big a deal........ :D ;)

[Jaimecbr900]

A couple of things to remember when discussing this:

#1 Can't compare mortgages to rent payments. Just not apples to apples.

#2 Shouldn't compare on raw monthly payments alone, because some of these apt complexes offer some great ammenities and others are just basic. So, if you pay $1000/mo for rent on a 2 bedroom, but have security parking, a spa, weight room, 2 pools, sauna, tennis courts, parties, 2 miles from work, etc. then it may be worth it IF renting is the thing for you.

Paul does make a good point when he said that if you are paying $900+ for rent, you should look into buying. Some people don't want to deal with it, and that's cool. It's just that sometimes people THINK they can't buy when they really can.

[Kristi]

I agree. My credit isn't all that great. Like I said, above, I only pay $700/month for my house. He has talked before about turning it into a for sale thing with me, though. Later, QD.

[speedminded]

I agree. My credit isn't all that great. Like I said, above, I only pay $700/month for my house. He has talked before about turning it into a for sale thing with me, though. Later, QD.Lease to own would be perfect in your situation then...but i'd make sure you had a good lawyer to go over the contract first. It's too easy to get screwed if you're not going through a traditional bank or mortgage company.

I know a few property management companies have been offering to put the money you spend on a lease through them towards a down payment or mortgage on a house (some of the larger ones that have joint construction companies). I think it's win win scenerio...may not be the time to get a house but still technically not throwing the money away yet they are still profiting from it. :2cents:

[quickdodge®]

^^^ You're talking about with my landlord, right? DO a lease-to-own with him? Later, QD.

[4dmin]

I can answer that for him....yes it does. He lives in Gwinnett and the mill rate there aint much better.

He just had a hellava LENDER that gave him a hellava rate, so prop taxes aint that big a deal........

he is correct and my lender was pretty good :rolleyes: (i'd vouch for him)


It's just that sometimes people THINK they can't buy when they really can.

exactly, there are definately circumstance that i would rent in as well, single (dont' need the space), trying out the live-in girlfriend, location, etc... shit some apartments have FREE dry cleaning; that in its self is worth it. But if you don't mind mowing grass, fixing things yourself, & already are paying $900+ a month go for it.

i was paying $750 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment w/ a garage... and i had to walk 2 buildings over for my garage :rolleyes: , so me paying 200$ more a month for 3x the space including a 2 car garage :goodjob: ; there is no question, go that route.

QD: i would look into a lease-to-own thing as well.. just get papers draw up nice and clear so you don't get screwed

[speedminded]

^^^ You're talking about with my landlord, right? DO a lease-to-own with him? Later, QD.yeah, the rent you pay to the landlord/seller goes towards the total...but they'll add on to the sale price whatever interest they feel like. That's why I suggest a good lawyer to go over the contract.

I know a few people that have "sold" houses like that, unfortunantly for the buyer they almost always end up getting the house back due to default.

[AWD OWNZ U]

Ya well my stupid condo is assessed at significantly more than I bought it for. So that doesn't help me. It's too bad I didn't know you before I got my loan. :tongue:

[AWD OWNZ U]

Part of the rent, usually a few hundred dollars or so.

[Kevykev]

i'll actually get the money back one day...write-off on taxes too (homestead exemption)...add in how much money we're making on side jobs in the shop and it's practically paying for itself.

You know you can do something about that, right?

You can always dispute your "assesed" value with the county. You can show them a copy of your appraisal from your loan closing. You can also file for your homestead exemption, which will reduce your tax burden as well.

Well, you know me now.....so if you need some help, feel free to give me a call and I'll try and see what I can do for you. :goodjob:

You can dispute anytime, but you're right it will not take effect until later. I'd do it anyway if I was in your position.
