Renting vs. Owning โ€” Same Monthly Payment
โœ• Keep renting
$2,000/mo builds your landlord’s equity. $24,000 a year โ€” gone. And rent goes up every lease renewal.
โœ“ Invest in yourself
The same payment builds YOUR equity. A fixed rate never raises your rent. And it’s your house.
How $1,000 Gets You the Keys
1. Down payment
CHFA / MetroDPA covers it
2. Closing costs
Seller concession covers it
3. You pay $1,000
