Owning vs Renting

 
 

Island Kitchen with Storage Up, Down & All Around

 

Some decisions in life are easy. Investing in home ownership just makes sense. It’s almost always better to purchase your home if you have the financial ability. When you discover the improved quality of life, the financial advantages, and the tax benefits of new home ownership, the Choice is crystal clear.

Here are a few considerations:

 
OWNING
RENTING
 
 
1

Build equity for you and your family with every mortgage payment.

 

The landlord gets the benefit of equity instead of you.

 
 
2

Deduct interest paid on your home loan from taxes, in most cases.

 

Rent payments are not tax deductible.

 
 
3

Enjoy the privacy of your own yard.

 

Can you say, “Common Area”?

 
 
4

Personalize your home the way you want with choices of paint, brick, cabinets and more!

 

You can’t personalize your space – it belongs to your landlord.

 
 
5

Depend on a covered parking place all the time – in your own garage.

 

Hope you can find a parking place near your apartment!

 
 
6

Benefit from extra storage space for all your extra stuff.

 

There’s more stuff than storage!

 
 
7

Enjoy plenty of room to entertain family and friends.

 

It seems like you never have enough room for visitors.

 
 
8

Establish trust and friendships with your neighbors.

 

You have no idea who’s living next door.

 
 
9

Finally – you can turn up the music!

 

You are either asking or being asked to “turn down the music”!

 
 
10

Sharing the American Dream of home ownership!

 

You’re still dreaming.
