MHQ - Mortgage Headquarters is here for you! In the meantime, keep reading this week's blog to learn all about some of the possible JOYS of owning a home.


ENJOY THE VALUE OF A GOOD INVESTMENT.
By that, we mean equity. Your equity in your home is the amount of money you can sell it for minus what you still owe on it. Every time you make a payment toward your mortgage, you reduce the amount you owe. That reduction increases your equity.

ENJOY THE POSSIBLE TAX BENEFITS.
Homeowners who itemize deductions may reduce their taxable income by deducting any interest paid on a home mortgage. Homeowners who itemize deductions may also reduce their taxable income by deducting property taxes they pay on their homes.

ENJOY PUTTING YOUR MONEY TOWARD SOMETHING YOU WILL ACTUALLY OWN.
You could rent a home and not have to worry about the maintenance costs to upkeep the home, and you don't have to worry about real estate taxes and other homeownership expenses. But your money is simply being spent and there is essentially nothing to show for the money you're spending on rent. By purchasing a home, you know your payments are going toward something that you own and will be an asset that you'll have for years to come.

ENJOY BUILDING YOUR CREDIT.
When you buy a home and consistently make your monthly loan payments on time, it demonstrates to other lenders that you are a good borrower and the risk of you defaulting on a loan is low. This strong credit history will be helpful in the future when you need other loans for buying a car, making improvements to your home, or paying other major expenses.

ENJOY THE FREEDOM TO DECORATE HOW YOU WANT.
Homeownership offers tremendous freedom to create the living space you've always wanted. You can own pets, paint rooms whatever color you like, make changes to floors and carpeting and do all the things that make a house your home. And the best part is you can make all the changes you want without having to get approval from a landlord!
