In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative situation?
In some countries, buying a
property
is valued far higher than renting one. A feeling of stability, comfort and security comes with owning a home
. In my opinion, many factors influence a circumstance, positive or negative.
A house
is an investment that will increase in value over time. Having a home
can boost your social status. In my country, Vietnam, for example
, people
who live in rented houses are considered impoverished. Another benefit of buying a house
is the ability to pass the property
down to your offspring. There are various other advantages as well. You are not required to relocate frequently. You have complete control over the space to design. If you are living in a rented house
, none of this
is possible. Some people
see their property
as an investment that they can hope to grow in the future.
Generally, I believe that whether having a home
is a positive or negative situation is highly subjective and dependent on the individual’s circumstances. For the people
who have enough money to buy a house
, and pay the related living expenses, their home
is an asset, and owning a home
is a beneficial situation. But for most middle-class people
, who do not have enough money to buy a house
for themself, buying a house
is a big pressure. Because they pay this
by taking out large loans and repaying them over a long period of time. This
increases the amount of interest they must pay like property
taxes, electricity, and maintenance costs also
added to their monthly bills. So in this
case, buying a house
would cause many negative situations in their life.
To conclude, I believe that owning property
may be a wonderful experience and it is a good financial investment if handled effectively. On the other hand
, putting people
under pressure to buy a house
is not a good idea. I think that everybody who can afford to buy a house
should do so because of its benefits.Submitted by jakedth162 on
