Buying a home is the most expensive and important financial transaction most people will ever make. It’s also the strongest tool and best hedge they will have in their portfolio to fight inflation. While money invested in a stock may go down, historically, your home appreciates in value over the long-term. And as you build equity in your home, you increase your overall net worth.
Benefits of Owning Your Home
A fixed-rate mortgage offers a predictable monthly payment, even with the changes in tax and insurance costs.
The interest you pay on your mortgage, insurance premiums and property taxes may be deductible. Consult your tax advisor for more information.
You can make any changes and renovations you desire, without asking for your landlord’s permission.
When you have a HELOC (home equity line of credit), you can tap into it for home improvements, renovations or other needs.
