Seasoned retirement and financial strategist, Mark Kinney, discusses the advantages of renting and buying.

Lee, Massachusetts—June 24, 2016—Founding partner of Toole, Kinney & Company, Inc., Mark Kinney, CFP®, posted a new blog entry entitled, “Rent or Buy? The Housing Dilemma in 2016.” In the post, he encourages readers to consider the advantage of both renting and buying, in order to make an informed decision that aligns with the personal and financial goals.

Kinney writes, “To buy or not to buy? That is the housing question. And there’s not a hard and fast answer for everyone. There are many different factors that go into deciding whether or not buying or renting are financially advantageous moves for you. Although conventional wisdom has often touted buying a home as a wise investment, with sure returns, those who suffered through the 2008 market crash might feel a bit disillusioned with that advice.”
