Buying a home is often considered to be financially better than renting one over the long run. This is because your mortgage payments build equity in your home, which you will eventually own, while rent only goes toward the upkeep of your home and the pocket of your landlord.
That is just one reason buying is better than renting. Here are some other benefits to buying vs renting:
Home Improvements
You can do what you want with your property. Making home improvements will be your choice…from colors to paint the walls to light fixtures to types of floors, you won’t need permission from a landlord to make changes.
Tax Benefits
Tax deductions are a great perk of home ownership. Stable monthly payments. Rents can go up, but with a fixed-rate mortgage, your monthly payments won’t change.
Forced Savings
Renting might seem less expensive, but would you actually save the money you don’t spend on rent? Since your mortgage payments are building equity in your own home, which you can later sell for profit, it’s like a forced savings.
