If You Can Rent, You Can Buy” — Why That Advice Sucks
You’ve heard it. Maybe you’ve even said it:
“If you can rent, you can buy.”
“Rent is 100% interest.”
“You’re throwing your money away.”
But here’s the truth:
that advice is garbage.
And it’s hurting the very people we’re supposed to help.
Not everyone who rents is ready to buy.
Not financially. Not emotionally. Not logistically.
Owning a home comes with responsibility — and pressure — that doesn’t make sense for everyone. And that’s okay.
Good agents don’t sell dreams.
They educate. They listen. They tell the truth — even when it’s not what the client wants to hear.
I believe real estate is the most accessible path to long-term wealth.
But not when it's sold with guilt, shame, or manipulation.
If you’re a renter feeling overwhelmed, you’re not crazy — and you’re not behind.
If you these one-liners from an agent...run!!
