10 Lansing Homes You Can Own for Less Than $500 a Month

Having a career in radio, I’ve lived and worked from Miami to Seattle, and most of the time it was life in an apartment. But after I got married, I changed that. When we pay rent, you are basically just throwing your money away. Yes you get a roof over your head for it, but that’s about all. When you buy a home, you are making an investment, something that allows you to grow equity. If you sell that house in 10 years, you should have a nice profit, if you keep it for 30 years, it’s yours. Other than property taxes, upkeep and utilities, you would have no other expenses.

And there are lots of homes that cost you less than $500 a month, they aren’t mansions with swimming pools, but many are nice. And when you buy a house, it’s yours and you can do anything to it you want to. Try doing that in an apartment. I spent a few hours on Zillow and found ten nice homes in Lansing that you can buy today, and have a monthly payment under $500. There’s something about owning your own little piece of America. A place that is truly yours! (and the banks) All of these listings and photos found on ZILLOW
