🏡 The big advantage of owning rather than renting 🏡⁣
⁣
They say rent money is dead money (unless you're the one collecting it!) 😅⁣
⁣
And while not everyone is in a position to own their own home just yet, a recent Cotality report shows there are still locations where it can be cheaper to buy an apartment than rent. 📊⁣
⁣
In inner Melbourne, and some suburbs in Darwin and the ACT, it can be cheaper to buy, rather than rent, a unit. 🏢⁣
⁣
There can also be minimal differences between rent and loan repayments in parts of Sydney, Adelaide and Perth. ⁣
⁣

⁣
Home owners can also potentially benefit from property price growth, the freedom to add value through renovations, and the personal rewards of saying “I own this”. 🏠⁣
