Thinking of renting a home? Consider the possibility of buying as an alternative!! Check out these interesting facts!

An article posted on http://www.inmannews.com today reported on a survey taken by Trulia.com.  In the survey 100 of the largest United States Metropolitan areas, including Detroit, Michigan, New York, New York/New Jersey, West Palm Beach, Florida, Memphis, Tennesse and many more, you can see that the price of RENTING a home is exponentially higher than the price of BUYING a home in the area!  This is shocking news to most, as one would assume that renting VS buying is a no brainer.  Turns out it is the other way around!

There are many different possibilities when deciding on and locating a place to live, but most of the time, after location its self, price is a close second, right?  Look at those statistics in the article, saving 70% on monthly payments in a place like Detroit, Michigan if you were to buy a home as opposed to rent!
