Why should I buy, instead
of rent?
Answer:
You'll love the feeling of having something
that's all yours - a home where your own personal style will tell the
world who you are. A thriving vegetable garden in the backyard, a tiled
entryway, a yellow kitchen...when you own, you can do it all your way! But
there's more to owning a home than personal satisfaction. You can deduct
the cost of your mortgage loan interest from your federal income taxes,
and usually from your state taxes, too. And interest will compose nearly
all of your monthly payment , for over half the number of years you'll be
paying your mortgage. This adds up to hefty savings at the end of each
year. And you're also allowed to deduct the property taxes you pay as a
homeowner. If you rent, you write your monthly check and it's gone
forever. Another financial plus in owning a home is the possibility its
value will go up through the years.
