My eldest grandson and his wife are renting a beautiful large home with the option to buy. In two years a portion of the rent they've paid will serve as their down payment on the home there in and then will be the owners. This is a good way for a young couple to get into a home of there own easily....We bought a home back in 1970 right on the water for $85,000. dollars and sold it for $108,000. in 6 years. Today the same home is priced t $385,000. The same exact home..sheesh....!!
