Buying vs. Renting HOME OWNERSHIP Should you buy or should you rent? This has become a complicated question for thousands of consumers. Not only is this question loaded with personal and lifestyle considerations but financial issues as well. For some, buying is the only sensible thing to do and for others, renting is much more convenient. Most homeowners enjoy the pride of owning such a large investment, and others enjoy having a place to call “home”. There are several advantages that go along with homeownership. Here are a few:   Tax Breaks Federal tax laws strongly favor homeowners. Mortgage interest and property taxes are generally tax deductible on your federal return. This can in turn provide you with an enormous tax benefit. Capital gains benefits allow the homeowner to profit wit... 08/07/2013

Advantages to Home Ownership Whether you are looking for more space to raise a family or the per- fect place to make your own, there are many advantages to owning your own home, ranging from the purely personal to the very practical. For many people, the motivation for home ownership is primarily financial. Owning your own home is a first-rate investment for a number of reasons:   Scheduled Savings When you buy a house, your monthly mortgage payments serve as a type of scheduled savings plan. Over time you gradually accumulate what lenders call “equity,“ an ownership interest in the property that you can often borrow against or convert into cash by selling the house. In contrast, renters must continue paying rent to a landlord for as long as they rent, without the opportunity to build e... 08/06/2013

3. Try to find a seller who will help you get into your new home. You may be able to find a seller who is willing to hold a second mortgage for you so that you can get enough money to qualify for the loan. This is called a “seller take-back,” which means the seller is actually acting as your lender. You will then be able to pay the seller back in monthly installments.  4. Create a cash down payment with out having to go into debt. You may qualify for a tax refund that will help you make the down payment if you borrow enough money for your new home. The amount that you have to pay back each month on such a loan is relatively small, and will be considered as part of your investment in your new home, so you will benefit in the long run. 5. Don’t let a low credit rating stop you from buying... 08/05/2013

Stop Paying Rent and Own Your Own Home! People who rent a home or an apartment often feel trapped. They feel they can never save enough money to come up with a decent down payment on the home of their dreams. It’s hard enough when you can’t even paint a room or hang a picture without worrying about what the landlord will say. It’s even worse when you think of all the money that you are wasting on rent, thousands of dollars that disappear every year without anything to show for it. Most renters don’t realize, however, that it is easier to buy that first home than they think. It’s not that they can’t come up with a monthly house payment, since they are already giving their landlord a rent check every month. It’s coming up with down payment that worries them. Coming up with this lump sum, ... 08/04/2013
