Equity and Investment Investment, Appreciation, Tax Savings
Stop paying rent! Make your money work for you, instead of your landlord. Each month that you pay rent, your landlord's property is building equity and he is getting the tax benefit from the interest. You could be paying down a Mortgage.
If you rent an apartment for $800 a month for 5 years, you will pay about $50,000 towards your landlord's mortgage. Think about the equity and tax savings for you, if you invest that money into your own home mortgage. Especially with Mortgage Rates as low as they are today.

There are some questions to ask yourself if you are thinking of buying a home with a Mortgage.
1. Do I have a steady source of income to pay the home Mortgage?
2. Have I been employed on a regular basis for the last 2 or more years?
3. Is my current income reliable?
4. Do I have a good record of paying my bills?

Homes generally appreciate about 5% a year. Let's assume you got a mortgage and bought a home for $150,000. Suppose you put $15,000 down.
At an appreciation of 5% annually, a $150,000 home would increase in value $7,500 during the first year. That means you earned $7,500 with an investment of $15,000. Your return on investment would be a whopping 50% annual return!
Of course, you are making mortgage payments and paying property taxes, along with a couple of other costs. However, since the interest on your mortgage and your property taxes are both tax deductible, the government is essentially subsidizing your home purchase.
For example, assume your initial loan balance is $150,000 with an interest rate of 6.0%. During the first year you would pay about $9,650 in interest. If your first payment was on January 1st, your taxable income would be almost $10,000 less, due to the IRS mortgage interest deduction.
Your rate of return when buying a home is higher than most any other investments you could make.
