Well, let&#8217;s be honest when you are buying a house its a bad investment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Many people believe that homeownership equates to being wealthy, however, this statement is not true. In actual fact, you are financially actually better off renting a property, moving into the stock market, and broadening your portfolio with alternatives such as <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"Property%20investment%20\" target=\"_blank\">forestry investments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/uploads\/eb185447d8fc4a499553e5ed2c821935.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In this scenario, if anything unfortunate was to happen where you become financially restricted and need to liquidate, you can do very easily!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">First of all, renting is often cheaper than buying a house. For some reason, there&rsquo;s disagreement about this, but renting is clearly cheaper in the long run.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When purchasing a property for let say $300,000, over the course of the mortgage, with interest payments among other things, the asset will actually cost you nearer to $600,000. Why not gain those interest payments over that period of time instead of paying them to a lender?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Renters also save a lot of money by not having to pay things like association fees, property taxes, and let&#8217;s not forget things that can be broken in a household like roofing, crack in the foundations etc. When this happens if you are renting as long as you haven&#8217;t committed the damage and its wear and tear the landlord is responsible for the damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Houses do appreciate in value, but not as fast as the stock market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Between 1970 and 2003, home prices rose by an average of 6.7%. That&rsquo;s brilliant until you then realize that the average size of a house nearly tripled during that time. Then u take inflation and that&#8217;s the reason for the increase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Here at EcoCrops International, you can invest into forestry on a 99-year lease with a fully insured investment.
