			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve all heard the familiar reasons to own instead of rent. &#8220;Build equity&#8221;, &#8220;invest in your future&#8221;, &#8220;stop paying someone elses mortgage&#8221;, &#8220;forced savings plan&#8221;, etc. I have constructed a list of own-not-rent motives that you may not have thought about.</p>
<p>10 (different) reasons to own a home instead of renting.</p>
<ol>
<li>You can move in and out when you want to, you don&#8217;t have to wait till your lease is up.</li>
<li>No one has to approve the colors you paint your walls.</li>
<li>You actually could be paying less monthly in your own home than similar rentals. Enough to make a difference.</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t have to inform anyone that your living arrangement has changed.</li>
<li>Want new lighting fixtures? Not a problem.</li>
<li>Typically, your mortgage payment doesn&#8217;t ever increase, unlike rent. (Unless you get an ARM)</li>
<li>Staying in your home longer, means you can become more involved in the local community.</li>
<li>You don&#8217;t have to ask anyone to fix your shower head, just do it yourself.</li>
<li>Help build your credit by paying on time.</li>
<li>Most importantly: You don&#8217;t have to ask anyone if you can have a pet! <a title="animal rescue" href="http://www.noahsrescue.com" target="_blank"> Please adopt.</a></li>
