Might make you think twice about living in that tiny apartment space, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, it might be time to speak to a real estate expert. Before you go out and make an appointment yourself, here are a few professional tips that can help you figure out what to do when renting costs more than homeownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do the Math<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out if becoming a homeowner can actually save you money today, it\u2019s going to take a bit of number crunching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply do the math. Look at the current rental rates and use a&nbsp;mortgage calculator&nbsp;to figure out whether purchasing would be less expensive than renting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, say you were purchasing a home in Nairobi, and you needed to take out a Kes 15,000,000 mortgage after the down payment. With today\u2019s interest rates, you might end up paying approximately Kes 25,000 a month. When compared to a two- or three-bedroom apartment at 40,000 per month, that\u2019s a Kes 15,000 difference<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you would need to meet the qualifications and restrictions for the type of loan you want, some of which are even targeted to first-time homebuyers. That\u2019s when it\u2019s time to speak to a professional to get a better idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get Professional Advice<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a multitude of&nbsp;down payment assistance programs&nbsp;and other loan programs designed to help renters become homeowners. Speaking with a Realtor or financial advisor would be a great start in helping you find the program that could work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All buyers before we even look at a home, whether for rent or for purchase, to find a reputable lender and find out if they can be preapproved to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will rely heavily on your <a href=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/how-to-build-your-credit-score\/\">credit history<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to speak with a lender to determine your creditworthiness, which directly relates to the proposed housing payment if you buy. Your&nbsp;credit score&nbsp;and the size of your down payment will directly impact your purchase housing payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your trusted expert can help bring all this to light, guide you through the entire process and highlight industry and mortgage trends in your market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kenyahomes.co.ke\/\"><em> Realtor or mortgage advisor<\/em><\/a> to see what you can afford and how much you would have to put down. With interest rates being as low as they are currently, taking out a mortgage on a home you purchase can lead to a monthly payment that is often the same or lower than what you spend each month on rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Read the Signs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not quite ready to head to the professionals just yet, there are a few other signs you can discover for yourself that might hint that you\u2019re ready \u2014 or not ready \u2014 for homeownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you live in a market near a major metropolitan city? Large metro areas such as Nairobi, Nakuru and Mombasa are more likely to have skyrocketed rents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most urban core areas are more cost-effective to own than to rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a steady job in a city you don\u2019t plan on moving away from in the next five years? A steady job in a city you love is another great sign you\u2019re ready for homeownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five years is the typical amount of time it takes to recover the acquisition costs of a home and a steady job proves that you have a dependable income supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you know what equity is and are you ready to build it? <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, you\u2019re probably ready to start reaping this benefit and the others that homeownership offers, such as:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Equity<\/strong>: Instead of throwing away money to your landlord, you\u2019re putting money into a property you own. After your home and all mortgage payments are paid off, you might find more value in your home than you knew was possible, especially in a booming market.<\/li><li><strong>Tax breaks<\/strong>: Homeownership can make you eligible for certain tax breaks on the interest within monthly mortgage payments. Therefore, you can get a lot of money back when you file your taxes every year.<\/li><li><strong>Insurance discounts<\/strong>: The difference in multi-line discounts for homeowners and renters is significant, Hooper says. In some cases, the auto rates discounts for homeowners can be twice those of renters.<\/li><li><strong>It\u2019s all yours<\/strong>: Finally, you are free to make that home as unique as you are \u2014 as long as you stick to city and&nbsp;HOA ordinances. From pets, paint choices, design and architecture, you can create a home that completely suits your wants and needs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of young people who join the workforce and maintain a good income are not aware of the opportunities they have as first-time homebuyers to own their own place. While not everyone\u2019s first home is their dream home, becoming a homeowner prepares you that much more for eventually obtaining that perfect home you have always dreamed of. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So when are you ready for homeownership after renting for awhile Renting may sound like an affordable option, but homeownership can actually be the better money saver in some cases.
