Question

What are the advantages of a home purchase?

Answer
A home purchase may give you personal benefits such as a sense of investing in your community and pride for achieving the dream of homeownership. There may be some strong benefits as well, especially tax savings you may enjoy. Interest payments on a mortgage are typically tax deductible (consult your tax advisor for more information). As you continue to make mortgage payments, you'll build home equity, as opposed to paying rent to someone else. If you can afford a low down-payment, a home purchase may be easier than you think.
