Why Buy Instead of Rent
Information and Advice for First Time Home Buyers
When you're thinking about buying your first home, it's
essential for you to be confident in your decision to
buy instead of rent. However, you may not know about
the many great reasons to buy a home! Here are just
a few of them:
Smart
Investment
When you invest in a home, it offers the possibility
for appreciation in value. The equity becomes yours
when you're still paying off your mortgage. You even
get to live in it while your investment matures.
Tax Advantages
Since both mortgage interest and property taxes are
tax deductible, homeownership can save you significant
amounts of money every year.
Planned Housing Costs
You decide how much you spend on your home, including
repairs and improvements. Unlike renters, homeowners
with a fixed-rate loan can lock in their monthly housing
costs.
Improvements to Your Taste
You can choose which improvements to make your own property,
such as a deck, kitchen remodel, or new paint, instead
of needing permission from your landlord.
