Why Buy Instead of Rent
Information 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.
