Everyday we are bombarded with news on the condition of the national economy along with current real estate news.  If you are in the market to purchase a house to either live in or as a rental investment, this is a good question to ask and as a prudent buyer, one you should ask yourself.

Needless to say there is no easy answer, but first lets determine if this is a home for you to live in or a house for rental investment.

If you want and need a home to live in, the decision process is very different. Does the size, location and price fit your family and financial situation?  Have you been approved by a lender for a mortgage to meet and fit you needs? Armed with this information you can begin your search with our help.

If you are an investor, you need to look at it from a totally different perspective. This is a decision primarily on Return On Investment (ROI) and ones long term financial objectives.
