Here's an amazing statistic that everyone who is currently renting should strongly consider.  In Metro Atlanta the average monthly cost to rent an apartment or single family home is $1475 per month according to national statistical tracker Attom Data Solutions in their Rental Affordability Report. And more than 57% of us still rent vs. own a home, town home or condo of our own! 

For the same monthly cost you can own a home with a market value of $235,000 purchased with as little as 3.5% down payment with an FHA loan.  As well, for many of us, there are down payment assistance programs that can help you with your down payment. There are also 0% down loans for Veterans and current military, and 0% down FHA loans through the FHA's USDA program.

Additionally there are good Rent-To-Own programs where you can rent a home of your choice, and once you can qualify for a home loan you can buy it a predetermined price.  

Many of us believe home ownership is beyond our financial capability. In today's housing market there are many good programs that can turn home ownership from a dream to a reality.
