Seniors Capitalizing On The Value That Renting Provides

Sponsored Content provided by Cindy Stancil - President , Liberty Senior Living Management Services, LLC

The American Dream of homeownership is a cliché as old as apple pie, backyard barbecues and the Fourth of July. So embedded in our culture is the idea that we should aspire to own a home that renting is often viewed as a last resort:  an option that should only be taken during times of financial hardship.

Instead, I would offer that renting is preferable to homeownership in a number of ways, the most important of which is flexibility. Free from some of the costs associated with homeownership, such as taxes, mortgage payments and homeowner’s insurance, renters have the ability to pick up and leave at a moment’s notice, spend money on luxury cars, and purchase yachts – even fund college savings accounts for their grandchildren.

One of the major downsides to homeownership is liquidity. Selling a home can be a long and somewhat arduous process, not to mention that it can take months just to find a qualified buyer and a minimum of another month before the closing of the transaction. Not having a substantial sum tied up in a home can deliver an increased level of personal freedom. Whether it’s a new business venture, an investment opportunity, a favorite charity or a relative in dire financial straits, having extra capital on hand can provide options as well as opportunities to help others when they need it most.

If the mood strikes, renters can move on by simply writing up a 30-day notice and calling a moving company. Maybe it’s a desire to be closer to grandchildren, live abroad or see a new part of our country. Whatever the reason, renters aren’t held captive by a piece of property.

Since there are no hefty entrance fees at Brightmore of Wilmington or Carolina Bay at Autumn Hall, residents can rest easy in the knowledge that they will not have to forfeit a large sum of money if they ever have to move. With no extensive financial requirement, people who are curious about the lifestyle provided by continuing care retirement communities can move in and try things out with no long-term commitment.

Part of the reason we don’t require an entrance fee, which is unlike many other continuing care retirement communities, is that we want to match our services to the needs and wants of our residents. It’s also because we are confident that anyone who takes the time to experience the quality of life at Brightmore or Carolina Bay will never seriously consider leaving.

Of course we also offer a number of ownership options, so that people averse to renting can take advantage of the services that our communities offer, which include independent living and assisted living options, a memory care facility, chef-prepared meals, weekly maid services, a fitness center with a heated indoor pool, scheduled transportation services, a spa, a library, and an arts and crafts studio.
