Owning vs. Renting
Advantages of Homeownership

Image
  • EQUITY - You can't build equity in an apartment or rental property. ~ In your own home you CAN.

  • TAX DEDUCTION - Your rent payment is not tax deductible. ~ The interest portion of your mortgage payment could be tax deductible.* *Consult your tax advisor.

  • PRIVACY - Your apartment, shares the walls, ceiling and/or floor. ~ In a single family home, you have privacy.

  • FIXED PAYMENT - Your rent almost always increases when your lease is renewed. ~ With a fixed-rate mortgage, the principal & interest payments never go up.

  • PRIDE - An apartment can feel only like a place to stay. ~ Owning your own home gives you pride of ownership.

great points. I would also add owning gives you a certain peace of mind. Renting is risky as you never know when the owner may sell the property from under you.

Thank you all.  It is good to give folks who are on the fence in buying their homes some advice because at the end of the day whether you're renting or own your home, you will write a check beginning of the month unless you own the property free and clear :-)
