Q:  HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH HOME I CAN AFFORD?

Q:  WHY SHOULD I BUY INSTEAD OF RENTING?

A:  While there are benefits to both, buying allows you to begin to amass an equity position in the home, which traditionally appreciates over time.  This can occur through both appreciation as well as pay-down in the Mortgage Principal.  Thus investing in a home essentially becomes a forced savings account.  When renting, there is no return on your monthly payment to your Landlord.

Q:  SHOULD I BUY TODAY OR WAIT?

A:  This can all depend on several factors.  However, if you do your homework, there are good buys in every kind of real estate market.  And don't forget there is always a cost of waiting as well.  For example, you might have to settle for your 2nd or 3rd choice as some one else purchased your dream home.
