🏡 Renting vs. Buying: Here’s a number worth thinking about.
The median rent in Raleigh is about $2,195/month.
That’s:
💰 $26,340 per year
💰 $131,700 over 5 years
💰 $263,400 over 10 years
…and that’s assuming your rent never increases.
AND you end up with zero equity.
👉🏽👉🏽 If you're already spending that much on housing, is it time to see what you could own? 🤔
