Rent or Buy in Chicago or Chicagoland?
Discover Your Options
A 2018 article on Digg, reported the following regarding the cost of renting nationwide ... and in Chicago/the Chicagoland area:
"Renting an apartment might give you flexibility, but in most states in the US, renting is actually more expensive than owning a home."
Another article on RentCafe' reported the following statistics and info:
"The average rent for an apartment in Chicago is $1,893, a 5% increase compared to the previous year when the average rent was $1,795."
This jump in rental costs is proving worrisome, but motivational to many area Chicago/Chicagoland renters seeking payment relief. The calls I receive are increasingly from those in this scenario.
Many of those inquiring are finding that a monthly mortgage payment would be less costly than their current or future monthly rent. Plus buying a home with a monthly mortgage payment would make more financial sense for them moving forward.
So my questions are:
Are YOU presently renting? Are YOU facing the prospect of an increase in your monthly rent soon?
If so, here's some facts and actions to consider:
- It's FREE to gain answers to your financial and credit questions (via my mortgage services)
- My Mortgage Pre-Qualification is provided to you at no cost and no obligation
- An analysis of your monthly rent vs future monthly mortgage payments is provided to you at no cost
- Gathering info/documentation ahead of our conversation is beneficial and speeds the process for you
So, at zero cost to do so, why continue to wonder what if? Why not know what is possible? Seize the opportunity. Ask questions!
