Episode 218: Renting vs. Owning: The Hidden Costs That Could Be Holding You Back with Jennifer Butcher
Description
This week we are excited to welcome back, Jennifer Butcher from Go Mortgage, a seasoned expert with over 24 years of experience helping people build wealth through real estate. We dive into the often-overlooked financial and emotional costs of renting and why it might be sabotaging your long-term financial goals.
Jennifer breaks down the true cost of renting (think $120K over five years with zero return) and sheds light on the wealth-building power of homeownership. We also bust common myths about buying a home, including the idea that you need 20% down or perfect credit. From down payment assistance programs to real-life client success stories, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to take your next step.
If you’ve been renting and feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed, this conversation is a must-listen. Let’s dive in!
