to own or to rent red.. what would you prefer?

[Curran Giddens]

I just moved back into my mom's house. Gotta save my pennies for all my RED gear. I'll probably rent a house sometime after I get my RED paid for but before the end of the year.

Renting's too expensive because I'd shooting all of the time. So I will buy...

It's too bad I can't lease it.

Hi,

FWIW most banks have departments dedicated to 'leasing', I assumed you might have a bank account.

Stephen raises a valid way of owning equipment.
Leasing companies lease to one man bands so you can colour your own world with this piece of knowledge!

In the the UK, leasing companies who specialise in media kit won't ask for a "charge" over your cat, dog, lover or home your IF the equipment is established in the market or looks like it will become established.

The theory is that you pay a deposit so that if you default they can sell the equipment without incurring a loss. They are usually a bit cagey about new types of kit.

They will ask for a deposit and a business plan.
They buy the kit with their money (less your deposit)
They own the kit until you have paid it off.
You choose say two or three year lease terms.
You get to "have and hold" the kit, work it hard or leave it in is case.
As long as you pay the monthly premium they dont care.
They stipulate a decent contract if want to dry/wet hire it.
You must insure it and not trash it after a few months.
The lease payments are tax deductable. (but seek local tax advice!!)

Thats it, pretty easy.
All you need is a deposit and a business plan....

Jonathan, I just believe in fair market value, not under-cutting.
....
At the end of the day, I just say do what feels right and live with it, just be prepared to hear other opinions on your practices as would be expected.

Just out of interest Alexander Nikishin, have you EVER bought a pair of nike shoes, an iPod, a korean car, anything from walmart, anything from kmart, anything from ANY clothing retailer? Have you ever bought GARLIC? Because even 85% or garlic in western nations is importedf from china, putting local farmers who cannot compete out of business.

If it wasn't for these retailers buying from china, india, bangladesh whose notorious sweatshops manage to undercut US labor and most other western labor, we'd still have our factory jobs.

So, out of interest - have you refrained from purchasing any such products to preserve jobs in your country and live by the standards you've set?
