Should I buy or should I rent? That's a question I've heard numerous times that I knew it required an episode to cover it.
This topic was also suggested to me by my beautiful wife. So let this be proof that I listen to her.... sometimes. LOL!
I also need to give a huge shout-out to Mr. Hussain Abdullah (the CEO and owner of HA Homes).
I previously had him on the podcast. His vast knowledge on topics such as property investment and property management provided inspiration for this episode.

In this episode we'll focus on answering five questions that provide some positive and negative aspects for both buying and renting.
Here's the questions...
1. What can you afford?
2. How long do you plan to stay in the home?
3. Do you want stability or flexibility?
4. Can you afford to be responsible for home repairs/maintenance?
5. What are your financial, career, and family goals?
I'll provide my opinion in the last part of the episode.
I need to stress that the purpose of this episode is not to tell you which option is better.
We're just providing information, and leaving it up to you to make that decision based on your individual circumstances.
