A client of mine sent me the following link which I thought was really helpful so I am passing it along to all of you.  http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/10/business/2007_BUYRENT_GRAPHIC.html?_r=1&oref=slogin#  I frequently get asked the question whether someone should rent or buy.  Clearly buying is not for everyone (are you shocked that a Realtor is saying buying isn’t for everyone?) so when making the decision, think carefully about your individual situation and speak with a professional about your options.

That same helpful client also drew my attention to this article http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/28/business/28leonhardt.html?ref=business.  For all you “evangelist renters” out there (credit given to the author of the article David Leonhardt for that term) you might consider a review of your finances and situation about 6 months before your lease expires.  We would of course be happy to talk to you about that.
