Deciding whether to rent or buy can be a tough choice, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It ultimately comes down to what makes sense for your lifestyle and goals. Take this short quiz to help you weigh the options and determine which path is right for you.

Let’s schedule a call to go over your finances and discuss whether you’re financially ready to take the leap into homeownership. Even if you don’t feel ready right now, I can help you understand what steps you need to take to get there.
