Top Ten Reasons to Buy a Home

Why buy when you can rent? You don't have to worry about maintenance, You don't have to pay property taxes and you don't have to worry about values going down. Here are my top ten reasons to buy and own a home whether it is a single family residence, condominium or townhome.
10.      If you want to have 50 people over for a graduation party it's okay.
9.       Whatever you want to put on the wall, you can. If you want to hang a deer's head, a black velvet Elvis painting, black light posters or the painting your aunt gave you for Christmas you can put it on the wall.
8.       You can buy those expensive, energy saving appliances and not worry about where you will put them in the next home you live in (in the event that home has appliances.)
7.       You can plant whatever plants you want to in the yard. If you want to grow an herb garden, you can. If you want an apple tree, you can plant that and have the fun of watching it grow and bear fruit. You can dig up that corner in the back and plant tomatoes or corn or lettuce or whatever you want.
6.       Want that firepit in the backyard? You can dig it.
5.       You can paint it any color you want.
4.     You can deduct your property taxes on your income tax.
3.     You can deduct the interest on your mortgage on you income tax.

2.      Every time you make an improvement on your home you build equity.
1.       You give your life stability.
