Experience the Security and Joy of Home Ownership

Home Ownership

Most of us dream about buying the ideal home. There’s something satisfying about having a home with which you can do what you want. Paint? No problem. Remodel? Go for it. But people can get caught up in the belief that it’s just better to rent than be “saddled” with a mortgage.

But, owning a home can be better than renting and here’s why:

1) In the Long Run, Your Monthly Payments Can Be Less Than What You’d Pay In Monthly Rent

Your loan payment might be more than you’d pay in rent at first, but over the life of the loan you’ll actually spend less when you buy. The rental market can be fickle, and you never know when your rent will go up. Tax benefits come with owning, too, so mortgage payments could be less than rent sooner than you’d think.

2) Monthly Mortgage Payments Are Like Putting Money into A Savings Account

When you pay your monthly payments, you’re paying down your mortgage and increasing your equity, with the interest you put in the home. It’s the part you really own. The current market value of the home, less what you owe equals the home equity. Values typically go up over time, so over time wealth is created.

3) Buying A Home Comes with Significant Tax Benefits

Deductions for mortgage interest on your federal income taxes is enough of a reason for many people to buy instead of rent. When you take into account the tax deductions, you’re actually paying less for your home.

4) When You Buy, You Enjoy the Freedom to Make Changes If You Want

When you rent, you can’t make any changes to the property unless the landlord says you can. You can make improvements, redecorate, remodel if you want because you’re the one with final say.

5) Buying Your Home Is A Great Opportunity to Improve Your Credit Rating

You can improve your credit rating if you make mortgage payments on time.

6) It Feels Good to Put Down Roots in A Neighborhood

It’s more satisfying when you buy and know you’re there for a good long while. You become a true member of the community and can get to know your neighbors.

7) Owning Offers the Security Of Stability

When you rent, if you don’t live where there’s rent control, you’re regularly facing the reality that the owners can and do raise the rent. A fixed-rate home loan, on the other home, gives you pay the same monthly payment for the life of the loan.

These are just the top reasons for owning instead of renting a home. We’ve put together a sampling of homes in Taylor Morrison homes in the Atlanta area that can have payments as low as roughly $1,717 per month.*
