Question

John would like to move from the city into the suburbs and has been saving up a large down payment for a home. Which is the most cost effective way for John to buy a house in the suburbs?

a.Move to the suburbs and rent a house for one year before purchasing a home.

B.Finish the term of his apartment lease in the city and find a new home to purchase simultaneously.
C.Break his lease and move to the suburbs immediately without identifying a home to buy.
D.Break his lease once he has bought the perfect home.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: the most cost efficient is D.Break his lease once he has bought the perfect home.

Breaking the lease on current apartment will cost john a small amount of money depending on the agreement he made with his landlord as a form of compensation. But the amount of compensation would definitely be lower compared to waiting to pay up until his apartment lease is over.
