Congratulations! If you made it to this page, you are probably thinking of buying your first home or have already bought one. What an accomplishment it is! The day you sign on your first home, you join the 65% of people in the United States that many call the, "American Dream". The median age of first time home buyers is 31. I bought my first home at age 20 and was so nervous. Since then I married the love of my life and we have bought and sold many properties together. We have rehabbed a lot; improving neighborhoods, and some we have kept as rentals to build long term wealth. I'm going to briefly list some of the best benefits of owning your own home.
Equity
There are many directions we can go with equity. Building net worth by paying down your mortgage, and having the ability to borrow cash against your home is very powerful.
Tax Benefits
Including depreciation, interest, and property tax deduction.
Pride of Ownership
Communities with mostly owner-occupied homes are statistically stronger neighborhoods. People tend to take care of something they work hard for. Making the area more attractive for resale when you're ready to upgrade or move.
