As I grew up, I started thinking about the careers I would want to pursue. Instantly, I was interested in being a clinical social worker. I want to select this career for many reasons, but the main reason is because I want to help people mentally and physically when they are in need.

Although, the down payment is greater for option 1 I would pay less each month. The 20% down payment for option 1 is $58,800. I would have to save $580 each month for about 8.5 years. When I am done paying the house, I would want to rent out the home. This is the best because I gain a greater profit. The home prices in Denver will increase by 2.5%. This is a profit of $7,350, but when I rent the house, 3-bed, 2-bath home, it would be approximately $2,000 a month. I would gain a profit of $910.75 each
