#countries #home #people #be #case
These days, it is believed, that in a number of countries it is better to own a home, rather than lease one, as it might be beneficial for the resident. Owning a house in certain locations can be considered a lifetime investment with a guaranteed return, rather than spending a huge sum of money on paying rent. Buying a residence or renting one can sure be a confusing question for the public.

instead
 of paying almost 100 thousand rupees a month they can buy their own residence in the heart of the city on loans provided by the banks with monthly instalments of nearly 30 thousand rupees which are almost 1/3 of the rent they pay. The banks too provide a tenure of 20 years in housing loans.
In addition
, owning a house means having a home, and having their own personal space.
Therefore
, in my opinion, one should definitely buy a residential property rather than
