Chapter 1: The Louisiana Homeownership Journey
IN THIS LESSON
Let’s get down to brass tacks.
We’re starting where most people are: debating whether it’s smarter to rent or buy. In this lesson, we’ll look at side-by-side comparisons for real parishes—what it costs to rent a 2-bed in Lafayette vs. what you'd pay monthly if you bought. We’ll factor in taxes, insurance, maintenance, and more. Plus, we’ll talk about the long-term financial impact of both decisions, and how Louisiana’s market trends play into that.
