Some Highlights:
. Owning your own home vs. renting may lead to some great options, such as locking in your monthly payments and having the freedom to customize your living space.
. Whether you rent or own, you have to cover someone's mortgage costs. You may as well be doing so to build your own wealth, rather than that of your landlord.
. Renting and owning have up-front fees when you sign your lease or close, respectively. Think about putting that money to work for you!
