Many reasons factor into real estate as the best investment, one of those being the costs of renting. If you live in Boston, you may be considering buying a home for that exact reason. Renting costs are rising as well and many see owning a home as the better use of their money. Another housing study from Harvard found that over half of all participants agree that owning a home makes better financial sense than renting.

The Benefits
Owning a home has many benefits, including those associated with finances and building long-term wealth.
