Moving to Baguio City with the Whole Family? Why Buy a House than Rent?

            We all dream of having a house where we can build a strong foundation for our family. However, given the high cost of residential properties around, only a few can actually afford. That is why some buyers consider renting or leasing momentarily. But the truth of the matter is -- you can save more if you buy a house and lot in Baguio City than renting. Yes, you hear that right. And, you really don’t need to pay the whole amount so you can have the property. There are now many residential developers in Baguio that only require a percentage of the total cost or selling price for the downpayment, and then, when the unit or house is completed, you can already move and just pay the rest monthly. Usually, this is possible through a housing loan. Aside from this, here are other reasons.
