The Difference

Here
are six significant reasons to grab that
hefty piece of the
ownership data pie:
- Tax deductions: Although
they're the stuff that bill-paying grumbles are made of, mortgage
interest and
property tax obligations are a homeowners best friend come April 15.
For both
federal and state income taxes, these payments are usually fully
deductible.
And in the first years after a home purchase, most of the money paid
toward
those mortgage payments represents interest. Think of it as a
government
subsidy on the purchase. In addition, many closing costs, such as
points paid
and fees for your loan application and appraisal, may be deductible,
either
immediately or down the line when you plant that "For Sale" sign in
your lawn.
- Stability: Renters
generally have no idea what they'll be paying a few years down the
line. Home
owners with fixed-rate mortgages, however, essentially have the same
payment
for up to 30 years. Even those with adjustable rates have a cap and can
figure
out their maximum potential mortgage payment. The stability also comes
from the
sense homeowners get of being anchored to their community. When you own
your
home, and you're paying taxes on it, you might have your voice a little
better
heard when it comes time to speak up about neighborhood or community
issues.
- Freedom: Speaking up
within your home is also much easier when you own it. No need to worry
about
"the downstairs neighbors complaining you're too loud, or the upstairs
neighbor stomping around at 1 a.m. You pick every paint color,
won't get fined
for scratches on the wall," she says. The decision-making extends to
the
yard as well; You can plant perennials and enjoy them forever. You can
plant a
tree and watch it grow and grow. You can plant a family and watch it
blossom.
