During the interview Mayo stated, “The main reasons to own versus renting can vary depending on the person’s life circumstances. Most people find it better to own because the money that is going toward rent could be going into their own home, that is an appreciating asset. It’s also a leveraged investment since you are purchasing something of greater value with a smaller amount down.”

When asked about whether there are times that it makes more sense to rent than to own, Mayo explained, “… in some cases a person might not be quite financially ready to purchase. But a good Realtor can help you determine if that is the case and often they can help you find ways around perceived obstacles…”
