Hey, I think now we should move in together since we are engaged.
Yeah, that's a great idea, lets talk with a consultant tomorrow.
We are wondering whether buying or renting would save us the most money in the long run
Oh, of course let me tel you about the benefits of each.
Well, buying a house and renting a house are 2 very different options that each have their own benefits. First of all when you are renting a house you are basically using someone else property. This way you do not have to pay for property tax or maintenance. However, you do have to pay a monthly fee that can get pretty pricey. When you buy your own house you are investing more into your future. There is a lot more freedom with buying a house, but it comes with all of the other expenses like property tax and maintenance fees. If you guys are ready to settle down and start planning for the future I would recommend buying a house, but if it is a little out of your price range and you need a couple years to get things together, then I would recommend renting a property to start out as a safer option.
