What's New

What’s New? Buying a median-priced, three-bedroom home was more affordable than renting in only 53% of the 855 counties analyzed across the U.S., making renting in the other counties the more affordable option.....according to a recent report by Attom Data Solutions. While it may be true that total out-of-pocket monthly costs are sometimes cheaper when renting, often these reports omit one tiny - but important - detail: EQUITY BUILDING. At the end of a 30-year period of renting you have zero to show for your money. The same is not true once you've paid off your mortgage. (Marketwatch)
 
 
What’s New? Eating a healthy diet, regularly exercising, maintaining healthy body weight, not drinking excessively and never smoking could prevent Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. To be the best at what you do, never underestimate the importance of your HEALTH. (CNBC)
 
What’s New? A new report from Experian found that the average FICO Score in the U.S. reached an all-time high in 2019 of 703, up from 701 a year earlier and 14 points higher than back in 2010. Altogether, 59% of Americans have a FICO Score of 700 or higher, the largest percentage ever at that threshold.
 
What’s New? U.S. single-family rents increased 3% year over year in November 2019, even with the gain of 3% in November 2018…Did you know that if a $2,000/month rent rate increases by 3% annually, compounded over 60 years that rate rises to $ 11,783/month...or over $4 million out-of-pocket in total.
