RENT VS OWN
a discussion with author JANE HODGES
Free. 7-9PM. Atomic Books.
3620 Falls Rd.
Hampden, Baltimore.
It’s an age-old question "Should I rent or should I buy a home?"
Join author and business journalist, Jane Hodges, for a discussion about today's real estate landscape.
Once considered an integral part of the American dream, owning a home is quite a different reality than it was just 50 years ago. And despite tempting prices and low mortgage rates, it's no longer right for everyone.
Enter Rent Versus Own: A Real Estate Reality Check for Navigating Booms, Busts, and Bad Advice (Chronicle Books) by journalist Jane Hodges. It's a must-read for anyone who has ever thought of buying a home, which, let's face it, is most of us.
It offers tools and anecdotes that expose the new circumstances in which owning a home makes sense--and when it doesn’t.
In this book, Hodges provides a witty, smart, and objective look at the housing market during these tumultuous financial times.
Adult refreshments will be served.
It's also First Fridays in Hampden.
Thank you for this post. I am wanting to get a new retail space that is a little bit bigger for my growing business. I've been debating whether we should rent it or buy it. I'm assuming that one day I'll want to own it, but it depends on how the business continues to go. This information has been helpful, Thanks again! http://www.ieproperties.com
