Is it better to rent or buy a home? How do I decide what’s best for me? | Ask Ralph Podcast
Deciding whether to rent or buy a place is a major decision. It depends on various factors like your financial situation, long-term plans, and personal preferences. Both options have their pros and cons, making it important to weigh them carefully. Taking the time to consider your needs and goals can help you make the best choice for your future. In this Finance Friday edition of the Ask Ralph Show, host Ralph Estep Jr. discusses the pros and cons of renting versus buying a home, offering both financial advice and biblical wisdom to help listeners make an informed decision. He covers practical steps like budgeting and calculating debt-to-income ratios, while emphasizing the importance of seeking guidance from trusted advisors and prayer in this significant life choice.
