Renting a house is synonymous with flexibility and buying a house means investing. Find out which one best suits your life!

At some point in your life, we all come to the question: should I buy or rent a house? A few years ago the trend was to buy and, often, even build from scratch. However, with the growth of civil construction and real estate, the answer to this question is no longer so clear. The rental market has progressively gained prominence, not only for financial reasons, but also due to the global situation we live in.

Nowadays we live in a society where the “study, get married and have children” route is no longer the rule and where people prefer to explore all corners of the globe instead of settling in one place. This lifestyle opened the door to renting and brought with it the question: “Buying or renting a house? That is the question!"

If this is also your question, don't miss this article where we will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each option, helping you choose the one that best suits your situation!

Rent house

In recent years, the law of supply and demand has led to an unexpected rise in prices in the real estate market, especially when it comes to buying houses. This increase has made renting an increasingly advantageous option because, if you find a fair rent, you can save a lot of money over the years.

However, you may ask: “what if I buy a house with a payment equivalent to what I will pay in rent?”. However, it is still likely that renting will continue to be the most economical solution, given that there are many other costs associated with owning a home, such as the down payment for the loan, maintenance work and the value of the condominium. When renting a house, all these financial costs are the responsibility of the landlord and when there is a problem you just have to contact him. All without stress and worries!

Furthermore, renting a house can be the ideal solution for those who do not intend to stay in the same place for a long time, that is, for those looking for temporary housing. This is because rental contracts usually do not have a minimum term.

However, no matter how much rent you pay, the house will never be yours! And you will always be dependent on your landlord, whether it is for you to stay in the house or just to make renovations.
