Is Renting or Buying Better?

The decision of buying vs renting a home is not going to be the same for every individual. Whether you want to buy a house property or take it on rental, it totally depends on your financial situation. If buying accommodation suits my financial situation, it may not suit yours.

Buying a home is a great achievement. While it may sometimes seem challenging, the many benefits that come with owning your own home make it all worthwhile.

In the short term, renting may seem like the best option, but there are good reasons that owning your own home can create real value for you over time.

What Should I Expect at Closing?

At least three business days before closing, your lender must send you a Closing Disclosure. This form lists all final terms of your loan such as closing costs and the details of who pays and receives money at closing.

Review each cost carefully ahead of time and compare it to your original Loan Estimate. This is the form you received soon after you applied that told you the estimated interest rate, monthly payment and total closing costs for your loan. If anything has changed, ask your lender why.

Double-check your monthly mortgage amount to be sure everything was calculated correctly—and that you really can afford it. Your mortgage payment shouldn’t exceed 25% of your monthly take-home pay.

To make sure everything runs smoothly, you’ll need to bring a few things to your closing appointment. Luckily, your title company representative and mortgage loan officer usually provide a checklist of everything you’ll need. This list includes:

  • Photo ID
  • Outstanding documents or paperwork for the title company or mortgage loan officer
  • Certified or cashier’s check made payable to the title or closing company for closing costs that aren’t being deducted from the sales price

Depending on where you live, those at your closing appointment might include you (the buyer), the seller, the escrow/closing agent, the attorney (who might also be the closing agent), a title company representative, the mortgage lender, and the real estate agents. But if the seller pre-signed the deed and transfer documents, they probably won’t need to be there.
