This document discusses the options of renting versus owning a home. It outlines some key terminology for both renting and owning. The main advantages of renting are that it has lower monthly costs, less commitment, and fewer responsibilities for repairs. However, renting also means no equity is built up and more restrictions. Owning provides the ability to build equity over time but has higher monthly costs, larger initial fees, and more responsibilities for maintenance and repairs. The document recommends considering factors like personal finances, goals, location needs when deciding between renting or owning.
