Owning vs. Renting

Example A (Single)

If you put 5% down on a $150,000 house at 7 ½% fixed rate for 30 years, including $1500/year property taxes, $30/month homeowners insurance, and private mortgage insurance, the TOTAL payment would be $1240.38.  Please remember that with high credit, 100% financing may be available through FHA if you are unable to put down 5%. The example tax table is used to illustrate the tremendous benefit of owning your own home (based on the $150,000 house) verses renting. This is an example only.
