Renting in Ocala
There are many benefits to renting and for some it may be the only option, but for some families they end up paying for a home that isn’t their own. This may continue for years and years. Did you know that the price of rent can often exceed the price of a mortgage payment So instead of putting money towards a home that is building equity for someone else, put that towards a mortgage payment and build equity for yourself!

Now – imagine not having to ask permission from someone else to do so. THAT is home ownership! Maybe you want to visit the local animal shelter and pick up that sweet faced dog the children have always wanted. When you are renting, perhaps the landlord won’t allow it.
