Owning your own house is traditionally
viewed as one of the milestones that a family should strive to achieve. Paying
off mortgage instead of renting is deemed as “worth it” because then, the
payments are “investments,” as owning a house gives your family long-term
security that you would always have a roof over your head. Home buyers also
think that the appreciating value of homes will get them a nice return on their
investment if they decide to sell it in the future, even against severe changes
in the economy.But what if all of this isn’t true? What if all these are nothing more than marketing ploys of home sellers? What if all these are outdated misconceptions that put families in deeper financial holes, instead of carrying them up and out of these holes?
Tom Graneau, a financial management coach,
discusses this controversial topic in-depth in “Renters
Win, Home owners Lose: Revealing the Biggest Scam in America.” In this
book, he makes the following points:
·
The best that a home owner can
get from owning a house is ZERO PERCENT RETURN.
·
It is more common for home
owners to LOSE MONEY on a deal, as they pour their income in to mortgage and
maintenance.
·
Home ownership, as the author
has tagged, is the BIGGEST SCAM in America, designed to keep buyers broke.
·
In mortgages, the buyers remain
POOR while the lenders just keep getting richer.
·
Home buyers are in much WORSE
FINANCIAL POSITION than renters.
And these aren’t just theories based on
hunches and estimates. These represent the cold, hard truth of home ownership,
backed up by data and statistics and outlined through sound financial concepts.
In “Renters
Win, Home owners Lose,” renting and buying a home are compared with each
other, with renters undoubtedly coming out as winners over buyers. Renters are
shown to have clear and tangible financial advantages over buyers.
Is it too late for you to choose renting
over buying? Are you already stuck in a mortgage, slowly but surely feeling the
depth of the hole that buying a home plunged you into? Don’t worry as the book
also provides strategies and solutions that can help you deal with home ownership
better.
If you are serious about your desire to
take control of your financial situation, this is the book you need to help
re-align your thinking about home ownership expectation – the biggest and most
costly purchase of your life.
