Homeownership offers a chance to build wealth and stability this year and with the rising costs of renting, you will not want to pass this opportunity by! In fact, a new survey found that the majority of rents will continue to rise by an average of 8%. So give yourself the chance to start building equity in a home you love before you sign on that new lease! You won't regret it!
