1. Tax Benefits: Home ownership brings many tax advantages that are unavailable to renters. Those who finance their home can often deduct their interest expenses, resulting in lower taxable income and potentially larger tax refunds.
2. Build Equity: Financing a home gives the borrower the opportunity to pay down the loan principal over time and therefore build equity in the home.
3. Security & Flexibility: Obtaining a mortgage loan allows the borrower to remain in the home until the loan is paid off. This can provide a sense of security and a level of flexibility that couldn’t be enjoyed as a renter.
4. Financial Value: As well as the potential for appreciation in property values, in many cases, buyers can purchase homes through financing for less than what it would cost to rent the same property over the same period of time.
