9. From Renting to Owning
A down payment is a certain amount of money, required by mortgage lenders, paid toward the purchase price of a house.
A down payment is usually between 10% and 20% of the purchase price.
This money is the initial equity in the home, and assures lenders that the buyer is serious.
It also reduces the risk to the lender if the buyer is unable to make payments and the property is foreclosed on and sold at a loss.

15. To Buy or Not to Buy
A car lease is a contract where you agree to take possession of a vehicle for a set period of time and make regular lease payments.
Typically, you make a relatively small down payment.
As lessee, you are obligated to take good care of the car, maintain its interior and exterior, get regular maintenance (oil changes), and present the car for warranty work.
Any major repairs are the responsibility of the lessor (owner) of the car, typically a leasing company.
16-2 Lease or Buy a Car

16. To Buy or Not to Buy
A mileage allowance is a set number of miles a car is allowed to be driven, agreed to by the lessee.
If you exceed this amount, you will be charged a pre- determined amount for each additional mile driven.
Some car leases provide that the lessee prepay miles. That is, you can buy additional miles upfront for a reduced rate.
16-2 Lease or Buy a Car

17. To Buy or Not to Buy
A business expense is a cost that is tax deductible and reduces income that is subject to tax.
For self-employed entrepreneurs and business owners, the vehicle lease is a business expense.
For the business owner, the entire cost of the lease is tax deductible when the car is used for business purposes.
16-2 Lease or Buy a Car

18. To Buy or Not to Buy
A factory warranty is a guarantee that if something goes wrong, the cost of repairs is covered by the manufacturer.
A typical factory warranty covers buyers for the first 36,000 miles or three years, whichever comes first.
It does not cover the routine maintenance and repair, such as oil changes.
If something under warranty goes wrong, it is repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to you.

When is leasing a car, rather than buying, a good idea?
Leasing may be a better option for a person who needs or wants a new car every few years, who can deduct the cost of the lease, and who does not want to do any major repairs on a vehicle.
16-2 Lease or Buy a Car

20. The Car Buying Process
Preapproval is advanced approval for a set amount of a vehicle loan given by a bank or credit union.
An extended warranty covers a car beyond the factory warranty period, often for 100,000 miles or more.
You are merely paying upfront for repairs that may or may not be needed.
You certainly don’t want to pay interest on future repair bills by adding these contracts to the price of your vehicle.

A multi-line discount is a discount given for having more than one policy with an insurance company.
If you have more than one policy with an insurance company, it is called stacking.

The total of stacked policies is less than if you carried the policies with separate insurance companies.
