  1. Project Part 3 Math 1050-040-F12 Buying a Home Vs. Renting Group 1: Elizabeth Anderson, Natalie Christner, Val Denter, Jason Holmes, and Stephanie Stevens

  2. Introduction For Math 1050 we were required to complete a cost and benefit analysis of either buying or renting a home. We each had the opportunity to research a career and the accompanying wage. We then had to find a home that we would like to live in and figure out if we could afford the house based on our predicted future salaries.

  3. Purpose The purpose of this presentation is to explore the pros and cons of renting or buying a home as well as the pros and cons of a 15-year loan to a 30-year loan. We will also go through the math used to calculate each of these things based on the type of home each person could afford.

  4. Renting vs. Buying There are advantages and disadvantages of buying a home or renting an apartment or house. Of course, this all depends on your lifestyle or what you can afford.

  5. Advantages of Buying Tax Benefits- Home owners can use mortgage interest payments and property tax as a deduction. Equity- If your home maintains its value, you can build equity as you pay down your mortgage. Freedom To Alter Purpose And Appearance- As a homeowner you can knock down a wall or make aesthetic changes as you wish. Stable House Payment- If you choose a fixed rate mortgage, your principal and interest payment amount will never increase. Noise- Nobody jumping up and down on your ceiling. Make money- A real estate investment can be used to make more money. This is accomplished by purchasing a home and selling it when it's value is worth more than the amount is owed. Disadvantages Of Buying Maintenance- If the furnace goes out or garbage disposal breaks ect. it's your responsibility. Property Tax- Taxes can increase and you must pay them. Depreciation- Your home can lose it's value, This depends upon the economy. Insurance- It is mandatory that you pay homeowners insurance through the duration of the loan.

  6. Advantages Of Renting No Maintenance- Most rentals will take care of any breakdowns or mishaps you my have. Amenities- Your place of rental may have swimming pools, basketball courts, playgrounds and exercise equipment all in the same complex for your enjoyment. Easy To Move- You don't have to worry about selling a house. If you have to relocate a lot because of your career or being pursued by the mob, you can do so after the lease is paid. Disadvantages Of Renting Rent- your rent can increase without notice making it less affordable. Pets- you may not be able to have that lovable Pit Bull or 200 pound Great Dane. Decor- You can't paint or remodel without permission. No Tax Benefits- renters can't deduct housing expenses. No Equity Cleaning Deposits- Most renters have to pay a cleaning deposit that they may not get back when they decide to move.

  7. Mortgage Options 30 Year Pros 15 Year Pros Pay less interest over the course of the loan Lower interest rate than 15 Year Lower monthly payment than 15 Year leaving more disposable income Build your equity faster than a 30 year With your lower payment, you have the ability to put more money toward principal each month, essentially paying it off sooner

  8. All group members were asked to calculate a monthly payment, based on their research. Mortgage Rates and Payment Info • Both a 15 year fixed payment and a 30 year fixed payment were calculated. • The Compound Interest Formula was used in figuring the monthly payment: • Results were then compared to an online Amortization Schedule to determine at what part of the loan timeline the homeowner was paying more in principal than interest.

  14. Amortization Schedule • 36% to 38% of total money paid for each home was paid to interest during the term of the 30 year loan. • It took 9 to 11 years to have more of the payment put toward principle than interest during the term of the 30 year loan. • 17% to 19% of total money paid for each home was paid to interest during the term of the 15 year loan. • More principle than interest was paid on the 1st payment of the 15 year loan. • Paying an additional $100 each month during the 15 year loan only resulted in a savings of approximately $4000 to $5000.

  15. Conclusion • Buying or renting a home is dependant upon your income and lifestyle. • Buying a home gives you freedom to do what you will with it, but there are many costs associated with ownership. • When buying a home, one must consider if a cheaper payment (30 year mortgage) is more important than paying less interest (15 year mortgage. • Depending on the economy, renting is not always cheaper than buying a home.
