Kim Kiyosaki | Should You Buy or Rent Your Own Home?

Mar 13, 2025
11:53

Rob and Kim Kiyosaki debate whether you should buy or rent your home. They discuss the pros and cons of renting -vs- owning your own home, discussing both the personal and investing perspectives of this common question amongst investors, millionaires and entrepreneurs.  

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Owning your own personal home means you can truly make it a home and make it your own, you’re free to do what you please aesthetically with the house.
  • If it is much cheaper to rent than own, then it makes sense to rent. But if a mortgage isn’t much more or it’s cheaper, then you should buy.
  • Buying your home isn’t an asset, but it is an investment, in your family especially.
  • All money you pay in rent is dead money at least when paying a mortgage, some of it will allow you to own something.
  • Owning your own home can mean you are able to secure loans for other things.
