Is renting really just throwing money away? Or is buying always the better option?
You’ve heard the arguments: “Stop paying your landlord’s mortgage!” … “Owning a home is how you build wealth!” But is it really that simple? Not exactly.
Here’s the truth: Neither is universally better—it depends on your situation. And making the wrong choice? That could cost you tens of thousands over time.
In this episode of the Martini Mortgage Podcast, we get straight to the facts—no fluff, no hype. You’ll learn:
✔️ The hidden advantages of renting (yes, they exist!)
✔️ Why homeowners have 40X more wealth than renters
✔️ The real costs of buying a home (spoiler: it’s probably less than you think)
✔️ 3 key questions to determine if you’re financially ready to buy
💡 Thinking about buying? Renting and wondering if it’s time to make a move? This episode is for you.
