Renters have no maintenance costs and do not pay for repairs. Zero time is spent attending to these needs. If a landlord decides to sell the home, many more rentals are available or you can pull your funds from your savings and buy a home. The decision to own or rent is give and take. Honestly, we are LOVING renting. Hassle-free and more time to enjoy our retirement.
