1. Prices Will Continue to Rise CoreLogic’s latest Home Price Index reports that home prices have appreciated by 6.6% over the last 12 months. The same report predicts that prices will continue to increase at a rate of 4.3% over the next year. The bottom in home prices has come and gone. Home values will continue to appreciate for years. Waiting no longer makes sense. #bawseassociatesllc #bawse #hugosellanj #hugobawse #topagent #topprodrucer #elizabethnj #rahway #roselle #cranfordnj #scotchplains #kunversion #fisbo #firsttimehomebuyer #renters #spring #motivated #cultureestate

3. Either Way, You Are Paying a Mortgage There are some renters who have not yet purchased a home because they are uncomfortable taking on the obligation of a mortgage. Everyone should realize that unless you are living with your parents rent-free, you are paying a mortgage – either yours or your landlord’s. As an owner, your mortgage payment is a form of ‘forced savings’ that allows you to have equity in your home that you can tap into later in life. As a renter, you guarantee your landlord is the person with that equity. Are you ready to put your housing cost to work for you? #bawseassociatesllc #bawse #hugosellanj #hugobawse #topagent #topprodrucer #elizabethnj #rahway #roselle #cranfordnj #scotchplains #kunversion #fisbo #firsttimehomebuyer #renters #spring #motivated #cultureestate

4.) No Family/Friends Not a month goes by that I don’t get a call from a friend or family member asking if I have any place available for rent. My answer is always the same: no. As part of my “Seven Deadly Sins of Real Estate Investing,” renting to family or friends is one of the most common but most disastrous mistakes many new landlords make. I didn’t know this when I first began and rented to several close friends and even some family — each time I was faced with a choice: Get screwed over or lose the relationship. Every time I chose to get screwed over in order to preserve the relationship. I finally had enough and “put it in the policy.” No more stress from those relationships. #bawseassociatesllc #cultureestate #topprodrucer #investment #fisbo #landlors
