In this episode, we discuss the benefits of renting vs. buying a house and if you should buy a house just because interest rates are low right now. We start with a voicemail from a listener and discuss her question about buying a home for the first time. There is a lot of pressure on renters to buy homes right now, but it’s not unique today. There is always pressure on people to buy homes like buying cars and clothes and everything else. So we dig into how first-time home buyers and all buyers should evaluate their decision to purchase a house.
