The net worth of a homeowner is 43x greater than that of a renter. Not 2x. Not 5x. Forty-three.

And even if renting feels like the easier move right now, that’s a number that sticks with you – because it shows what’s at stake over time.

Look, I know buying can feel out of reach. But when’s the last time you actually ran the numbers? Because you might be closer than you think.

Now that doesn’t mean you have to buy today. But you should at least know your options and what it would take to get there.

There’s a lot of talk in the news about affordability and mortgage rates right now, but here’s what almost no one is talking about.
Yes, mortgage rates have been inching up these past few weeks. But it’s still more affordable to buy compared to buyers who made a purchase last year.
Even now, the average monthly payment is about $300 lower than it was just a year ago.
So, while rates have shifted lately, the opportunity to buy hasn’t gone away.
If you want or need to move, let’s talk strategy.

Scroll through your social feed, and you may come across something that says investors are buying all the homes right now. But housing market data tells a different story.

Only 0.4% of the 86 million single-family homes in the U.S. are owned by large investors (those with over 1,000 properties) today. That's a lot less than headlines would have you think.

So, if that’s been shaping how you see your chances of buying, it might be worth looking at things a little differently.

For some families who want to buy, the numbers just aren’t lining up right now.

Between ongoing affordability challenges and rising childcare costs, it can feel like you have to choose either buying a house or paying for daycare.

But a growing number of people are finding a smart solution where they can do both: buying a multi-generational home.

1 in 7 buyers purchase a home with their parents, grandparents, or other relatives. And here’s how that helps.

By combining incomes and sharing expenses, they can finally afford to buy. And it even makes childcare easier when loved ones all live under one roof.

Sometimes the path to homeownership isn’t doing it alone. It’s doing it together.

More buyers are starting to take a closer look at adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) right now — and it’s not hard to see why.

They typically come with a lower initial rate, which can help make a home purchase more affordable in today’s market.
But here’s the part that matters: that lower rate is temporary.

After the initial period, your rate (and your monthly payment) can adjust.

So, it’s not about whether an ARM is good or bad. It’s about whether it fits your long-term plan.

If you’re trying to figure out what you can comfortably afford, it’s worth having a conversation with a trusted lender or financial advisor to walk through your options and see what makes the most sense for you.

Thinking About an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage? Here’s What You Need To Know.

ARMs are getting more attention again because they can make buying a home more affordable in the short term. But they’re not right for everyone.

The key is understanding how they work, what the risks are, and whether they fit your plan. And that’s why you need to talk to a trusted lender and financial advisor before you make any decisions.

If your house is for sale and you’re not getting any offers, or at least none you’re comfortable with, you may be starting to wonder if it’s better to rent it out instead.

But here’s the truth. Being a landlord isn’t always as easy as it sounds.

You have to find tenants. Chase down missed payments. Be on call anytime something breaks. And deal with unexpected costs and repairs.

So, make sure to carefully weigh the pros and cons before you make a decision.

For some homeowners, the hassle (and the expense) of turning a house into a rental property aren’t worth it.
