                  Is it really a good idea to buy instead of rent?                                                       

It surely is! Your PROPERTY EMPORIUM  NATIONAL RELOCATION SERVICE REALTOR will be glad to run a comparison for you of the costs, tax advantages, and investment return involved. There is no charge for, nor obligation in working up such a comparison based on your situation. Than you can simply look at the figures and make your decision based on your particular needs. Remember, even if you only break even when you sell, you will still have tax savings for the period of time you owned your home. Renting has no TAX ADVANTAGES.
