Review

"If you're wrestling with the decision whether to rent or own your home, Rent vs. Own is a strong recommend...and is strong when it comes to surfacing relevant stories of consumers you can relate to, and issues and questions that might not otherwise occur to you until you're knee-deep in a serious situation." -- Inman News

"Author Jane Hodges takes a truly balanced look at an emotional subject, and offers plenty of tips to keep you above water-in terms of your money and your sanity-whether you choose to own or rent." -- Mint.com

"If struggling with the big rent versus buy question, this book is for you. Even the most dedicated HGTV-addict will discover tips they've never considered before. Before you visit one more open house or write one more rent check, read this book! -Kimberly Palmer, finance columnist for US News & World Report, author of Generation Earn
