Lease

Here’s the honest answer: It depends on your situation. You should consider: your income stability your savings your timeline your long-term goals Buying only makes sense if: you’re financially ready you plan to stay for a few years the numbers work for you But here’s what I’ll tell you from experience: A lot of buyers who think they’re not ready…are actually closer than they realize.

If you’re a landlord in the Houston suburbs—maybe in Tomball, Cypress, or The Woodlands—you’ve probably been asked the question: “Do you use a lease or a rental agreement?” And while most people use the terms interchangeably, there’s a big difference between the two. Knowing which one fits your goals can mean the difference between stable, long-term income and a flexible, short-term cash flow.
