Rent vs. Buy? The market these days seems to be more friendly to renters but with the right realtor anything is possible! However, it is important to know and understand the pros and cons of renting and buying in the area. Here at All Pro Group , we support both ventures. We rent properties as well as aid home owners looking for their dream Smoky Mountain house! The possibilities overlap and it is a good idea to keep in mind that renting a property is often the stepping stone to being able to comfortably buy a home that suits you in the future. Renting a home gives you the ability to save a little money and not be responsible for certain maintenance issues. This means limited responsibility and is ideal for young adults just entering the workforce. Being a renter also means that there is less of a tax impact on you financially. Rent is a fixed amount and therefore can make budgeting easier! Being a renter also gives you more flexibility to be able to move around since leases are usually 12 months or less! The cost to move into a rental property can sometimes be lower as well! While renting sounds great, there are also disadvantages to renting. Disadvantages of renting include: payments never stop, no tax benefits, there are rules, regulations, and limitations (i.e. pet policies), less stability, and no ownership. Renting is a good way to start your real estate venture and gives you more time to find the property that suits your every need before directly owning.

Buying a home is more intricate and finite. There are many advantages to having your own Sevierville area home which includes: owning a home can reduce amount you pay out in taxes each year, free creative opportunities, greater privacy, the pride that comes with ownership, and the lack of restrictions. However, owning your own home is not something to take likely, disadvantages to owning a home include: homeownership is a huge financial commitment, you’re responsible for all the maintenance in the home, the value of your house may not increase over time, and owning a home ties you to a community which could possibly mean more responsibility added to your plate!
