Gay Realtors on Why to Buy a Home

There are many benefits to owning your own home.  Gay realtors report one of the biggest benefits of course is making your mortgage payment with tax free money ~ your mortgage deduction. Another is the ability to completely control your environment and your décor, king of your domain. You do not have to inherit old appliances and you can knock out walls to create a more open space if you need to.  Of course this freedom to do what you want with a place does not apply to every home-owning situation.  Most condos have associations (HOA’s) with definite rules about what you can and can’t do after you buy. Many condo associations want each unit to have a uniform look so that each balcony and front door looks the same, etc.

If you buy your own home you can individualize it in any way that you like. You can renovate, paint the walls and truly make it own. This leads to that sense of “pride of ownership” that is so fulfilling in life according to gay realtors.

Owning your own home also gives you more privacy than renting. You can live the lifestyle you want with less interference from others, and without the fear of the landlord intruding on your space. You can make more noise and control who has access to your property, which is not necessarily that doable if you live in an apartment building or low-rise.

However one of the main reasons we recommend that people buy a home is so that they can make an investment in their own future.  Despite fluctuations in the local markets, recessions and rising interest rates the majority of homeowners do tend to benefit from the appreciation in their home.  Extremely savvy property investors know how to buy a property, fix it up and sell it at an enormous profit.

There are many financial advantages to owning our own home. One of them is that you can use home ownership as a tax deduction as we’ve already mentioned. Your mortgage interest is deductible on your tax return as long as it is less than the price of your home. This means that you can deduct a substantial part of your mortgage payment every year at tax time.

Plus you\'re reminded that each mortgage payment that you make creates equity; you’re slowly paying the principle amount of the home down. Your home is an investment that is linked to the economy that will more than likely make money over the long-term. This makes it possible for you to take out an equity loan. These loans can help you improve the place for sale, go to school or start a new business.  A home equity loan can also be of great assistance if you have to pay a big medical bill.

In essence home ownership supplies you with financial security you may not have had otherwise as well as the freedom to do what you want with a property as long as it is within the law. 

Furthermore, this is a good time in history to get a great deal, at historically low interest rates. There are definitely deals to be had whether you are considering buying a home for the first time, moving from a home to a condo or moving from a smaller home into a larger one.
