Buying a house

In this crazy days, the decision of buying a house is a very unpleasant one. You have to measure the facts and analyse every aspect, you have to be very carefull and pay attention to every detail, because buying a house may involve some risks.

Pro: 
  • you'll be able to make any changes in any room
  • you'll have something to leave to your children and grandchildren
  • it offers you a feeling of security
  • a perfect solution if the rent you are paying is more expensive than the amount you would pay every month for the loan
  • if you win the lottery, buying a house is the perfect acquisition
  • buying a house represents a good money investment
Con: 
  • it limits your freedom of movement
  • it affects your budget
  • eventual mortgages can make your life harder;  plenty of paperwork required before buying the house, lots of money given to banks
  • buying a house involves many frustration, especially because you have to meet many requirements and conditions imposed by the banks; banks don't give money to anyone, so you have to demonstrate that you can pay your bills and the loan. In addition, you'll need enough money for the down payment, a good credit score and an income that's 2 to 3 times higher than your expected mortgage payment

patience is key! wait it out.
