Buying Your Own Home Still Makes Sense

By Kevin Forcey

There is no doubt that home ownership is one of the cornerstones of American society. The white picket fence flashes through the mind of nearly every potential home buyer at some time or another. We all daydream of the big yard with the beautiful shade tree and a big porch swing. But how does owning their own house really profit a family?

One big reason that owning a property can be significant to a family is the facility to make future wealth. While this could possibly not be the original thing a buyer thinks about, by choosing the perfect property for the right price they want to later reap the rewards of rising property prices. Putting money in a home is hardly ever a mistake, especially if you can get a excellent agreement on the purchase price.

A further incentive for having a home is since your family need roots. People with children really should have a home base where the kids can grow into adulthood, grow everlasting friendships and create lifelong memories. Don't we all have those wonderful of being outside playing hide and go seek with local children?

There are always significant tax considerations when you are getting a home an example of this is the tax deduction an owner gets for paying mortgage interest throughout the year. This tax break can make for a hefty tax refund for most people when they get their taxes completed each year.

Building a strong family requires having a good underpinning, and what could be better than your own home? Why carry on giving rent to a landlord? Each month as you scratch out that rent check, you are allowing that landlord to pay down her mortgage he has on the house. Why not write a check and start paying yourself back with equity? By putting money in a home that you own, you are in actual fact paying yourself in the end. Every time you pay that mortgage payment, you will know that you are pileing equity away for your future and your family's future. - 30214
