The Move from Renter to Buyer: What Makes It Happen?

How does someone make the decision to go from renting a home to buying? It’s often a personal decision based on a combination of factors. Yet, sometimes, it’s beneficial to take the time to consider the value of making the move to buy. Could it be possible? Is that the decision best suited for your future?

Renting might feel like the safer bet right now, but it could be holding you back. On average, homeowners have nearly 40 times the net worth of renters. Why? Every mortgage payment they make builds their wealth. Your rent? It just builds your landlord’s.

To build confidence in the process and benefits of buying a home, it’s essential to take a closer look at some of the core factors that impact many renters’ decisions. Consider the factors that influence a renter's decision to become a buyer.

• Financial Readiness

• Consistent Income

• Lifestyle Choices

• Market Conditions

Before you make the decision to buy a home or to keep renting, take a closer look at what buying could mean for you as soon as you move into the home. With the help of your Southern Trust Loan Officer, it is possible to crunch the numbers and find out exactly which opportunities can make a difference in your decision.
