Summary
Once upon a time, before the pandemic, rents were better until 2021 and 2022, when rents came surging those years, and the median rent rate was 200 dollars more than it was three years ago. As the rent rates increase over the years, think deeply about whether you should continue renting or start owning a home. Should you continue renting or paying to own a home. Pedro’s wife had some disabilities, and he needed to modify the bathroom, which renting won’t allow renters to do, so he decided to buy a home. Today, Pedro shares his life story as a first-time home buyer buying a home with zero down and paying less than his rent after working with private unicorns. Although Pedro pays $200, he has a house he could call home. Join Pedro in his inspiring story and see it end happily ever after.
