Fortunately, the one year old electric mower with two chargers and three batteries sold quickly. These batteries alone sell for $30 to $60 on eBay, but you offered the whole package for just $150 because you just want it gone as soon as possible. It works perfectly, but you no longer had any use for it. You moved to an apartment in the last six months and there is no need for a lawn mower. With the mower gone you no longer have to even think back to those days when you needed to take care of your own lawn.
The day that you moved into the apartment was a great relief. In addition to no longer having to take care of the yard work, you also no longer have to take care of the maintenance and HVAC repairs. There are some things that you loved about owning your own home, but all of the maintenance work was no one of them.
HVAC Repairs and Maintenance Can Help You Protect Your Investment
Making the decision to rent an apartment or purchase a home involves lots of considerations. One of the tasks that many people really do not want to take on is the maintenance that is required with owning a home. From making sure that your heating and cooling systems are serviced and maintained to taking care of lawn chores, when you make a decision to be a home owner you are making a decision to be fairly busy. The decision to rent an apartment, in comparison means that you can know that a landlord or property manager is taking care of all of these tasks.
Another advantage to some rentals is that there are some that do not include utilities. This type of arrangement can equal substantial savings. In fact, the average American home owner spends nearly 2.7% of their income on energy bills, which amounts to as much as $2,000 a year. When you factor in that the average air conditioning units only last between 10 and 15 years it is also important to note that if you own a property you may have to make a significant investment updating your HVAC system.
