Why buy a home instead of renting in Florida? Owning a home is part of the American dream. But it doesn’t really have to be just a dream.
Let’s look at why buy a home instead of renting:
1.- Building wealth and buying up
Many think that buying is for those who want to settle but statistics say that most homeowners will go through several homes in their lifetime. This is because when you purchase and want to move, that initial home can help you purchase the second one or become an investment home for rental.
2.- Interest rates
Today’s interest rates are at their lowest levels. Home prices are more affordable today than they were in the entire past decade.
Owning a home is often less expensive than renting – even without looking at the biggest hidden secret to savings.
3.- Tax savings
In fact, tax savings and benefits are often unknown to new and prospective homeowners. Let us explain. When you pay mortgage interest on your primary residence rather than rent, you get to deduct these expenses on your tax return.
But not only that! Even as you move into your own home, you get to claim more exemptions with your employer immediately. That means you will see an immediate increase in your monthly take-home pay because less tax will be withheld from your monthly paycheck.
If you account properly for the tax savings, owning a home can cost up to 30% less than renting, and sometimes your savings can be even greater.
4.- Freedom
The “Power of Ownership” and being able to do what you want in your own home without having to ask your landlord are just two great benefits. Add to that the actual savings through tax benefits, principal pay-down and low-interest rates, and you will agree that it does not make sense to keep renting.
