Homeowner Benefits

  1. Shelter and Security – Beyond fulfilling the basic need of shelter, owning your home provides added security that your shelter is in your control.
  2. Building Equity – Growing your equity increases your borrowing and purchasing power, building your future financial resources.
  3. Tax Benefits – Mortgage interest and property taxes are deductible! Dependent on your circumstances, additional tax breaks may be available as well.
  4. Good Long-Term Investment – Rather than paying for the use of someone else’s property, you are able to invest in your own with a high likelihood of profitability in the future.
  5. Creative Freedom – Homeownership comes with the added benefit of being able to make decisions about permanent changes to your home that renting does not. That pink door you’ve always wanted or that ultimate deck set-up you’ve been dreaming of can be yours.
