When you get into homeownership it is for the long term
You get to live in your investment -  and you're poised to come out well ahead

Your First Home
FROM YOUR HEART FOR YOUR SECURITY

You know you've arrived when you come home to your very own home.

Nothing beats the feeling of walking through the door of the home you own

Recently Lawrence Yun, chief economist and senior vice president of research for the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTOR®. shared his views  "As an investment, the $10,000 invested as a down payment on a typically priced home for the typical 5% annual appreciation will net $110,000 over 10 years.
 "That’s what the power of leveraging means."
That same $10,000 invested in stock appreciating 10% annually will return $23,600.
No wonder the Federal Reserve Board consistently finds a staggering difference in average net worth between home owners and renters:
$184,400 vs. $4,000."

 As it has always been - . . .
housing is our bedrock investment.
It will continue to generate a nest egg for us long after we’ve turned off the television and forgotten what was said in the sensation-seeking story of the moment."

Rent   vs   own         

Spent   vs   invested

You are Paying for it - Why Not Own It?

example:  22 Elm Ave., Blackwood    $159,900

Sales Price: $159,900
Monthly payment = $1490/ month total
                       using 4.25% Fixed Rate
(rates fluctuate, todays rate is lower - 3 3/4% oct5)
3.5%  Down Payment  = $5596.50
3.0%  Seller Assist       = $4797.00
Total Needed at Closing including down payment and deducting seller assist = $8500
Rent: $1600

$4000 = 1st monts rent + 1 1/2 month
                                 Security Deposit

$8500 cash for purchasing is partial offset by $1490 advantage of payments in arrears (mtg) vs pmts in advance (rent)
When you purchase you do not make a mortgage payment that month or at the first of the next month.

$7010 out of pocket cash to own ($1490pmt)  vs $4000 to rent($1600pmt)
