Rent VS. Own

Should you Rent or Invest?

The simple answer is “it depends”. We’ve all heard the comment “rent is dead money” and certainly if you are the sort of person who does not save, then buying instead of renting is a form of ‘forced savings’. However, if you are thinking about your financial future and are committed to investing then almost certainly renting will be a better option (so long as you invest at the same time). Remember, renting while saving...it will makes difference for your future.

For No More or Even Less than you are now paying in rent, YOU can own private NEW pads for your children in college, the Condominium ownership that will give you pride and peace of mind.

It's Time to Smarten Up! Why spend P10,000 to P15,000 each month in rent, when you can invest the same money and own a New University Belt Condominium.

Rent vs. Buy

Whether a student is living in a dormitory or a rented apartment, the benefits of owning rather than renting are significant. The security and peace of mind that can be had in a safe and secure building of condominium cannot matched in a transient aprartment complex or dormitory. Additionally, the cost each month as an owner can be about the same or less than what would be paid monthly to a landlord. Adding to that the tax advantages of homeownership, the promise of gain in investment value, and the fact of not having a landlord to deal with - the benefits of ownership over renting are immense.

It makes no sense to flush P10,000, P12,000 or P15,000 each month down to drain in rent when for the same money or less you can buy an asset that can make you money. Buying especially makes sense when the asset is a prize winning, our new condominiums with all the features and amenities that go with it.

3 Good Reasons to Buy

Security - Typical rental apartment complexes dont provide both a monitores security system in each unit and a guarded entry system for their tenants. And when rental complexes do have some type of security, it is usually not well maintained - once installed, it is many times quickly forgotten.

Investment Value - As long as you have to pay for a place to live during college, wouldn't it be nice to have something besides rent receipts when you're done? Condominium values best during the year for almost 40% increase. Rental business of your unit is very much possible for the time you are not using your unit. Money you paid for your condo unit could have return on investment through its yearly increase in value and through rental business.

No Landlords - Unlike a rented apartment, there are no unreasonable rules. You can bring all stuff you wish with you to college, you can paint the rooms any colors you want, and you can hang shelves anywhere you like. Because - You are the Owner!

Think Big to Make it Big

No one is a born salesman. Neither is there such a character as a born doctor. The reason is that when the child is born, its mind is blank.

A profession has to be learned. Not only that, but to become proficient at it, one has to practice, rehearse, drill and put it to work. Constantly, regularly, consistently. And to become a master among masters at such a profession, you have to always one jump ahead of your colleagues.

And that means one has to study harder, practice harder, work harder than anyone else.

THINK BIG!
Dr. Napoleon Hill, in his book Think And Grow Rich, says: "You could become what you think about ." Simply put, you could make it in the big world by thinking big. Even if you started small. From scratch, that is.

Sr. David Schwartz says: "If you think mediocrity, you reap mediocrity. If you think big, you reap big." Good advice for a lot of people. Students who think C will generally become C students. Those who think A's will wind up scholars with big fat A's.

Usually what you thinks becomes what you are in the future. Chinese people usually start small but they dont stay small. They were not ashamed to work. They paid no mind to what people called them. They were patient, polite, smiling. But they thought big. Some of them are now respectfully addressed as "Mr. Sy, the department store owner," "Mr. Go, the factory owner," and so forth and so on.

Yes, Think Big!

You can start small. But think big thoughts. And be sure to develop guts, strong determination, brigh faith in the rightness of your pursuit in life.

Dream BIG. But big dreams without hard work wither on the vine. Dont spend your hours daydreaming.

As 'faith without works is dead." says a Bible writer, as dreams without works remain dreams.

So after thinking big, dreaming big, do it. Just do it and you'll make it.
