INHOUSE OR CLOUD?
8
Say you just
moved to a city,
and you’re looking
for
a place to
live
Let’s use a simple analogy
RENT OR BUY?
9
YOU CAN EITHER BUILD A HOUSE OR RENT AN APARTMENT
DECISIONS, DECISIONS…
10
IF YOU BUILD A HOUSE, THERE ARE A FEW IMPORTANT DECISIONS
YOU HAVE TO MAKE
11
But, you get a chance to
customize it
tileflooring
Rooffloor plan
landscaping
windows
lighting
ONCE THE HOUSE IS BUILT, YOU’RE
RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE
12
Hire Landscaper
Heating and Cooling
Gutter Cleaning
Water
Pay property tax
House Keeping
HOW ABOUT RENTING?
13
CONSIDER A BUILDER IN YOUR CITY
BUILDS A MASSIVE NUMBER OF
APARTMENT UNITS
14
A UNIT CAN EASILY BE CONVERTED INTO 2, 3, 4 MORE UNITS
15
16
YOU CAN MAKE FEWER,
SIMPLER DECISIONS
YOU CAN START WITH ONE UNIT
AND GROW LATER, OR
DOWNSIZE
17
BUT… YOU DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR UNIT
PAY AS YOU GO
JUST PAY YOUR RENT AND UTILITIES
