I get this question a lot! Alex, what are the benefits of owning a home vs renting?🤷‍♀️
Here is why it is better to own than to rent a place!

1) Tax benefits - as a home owner you can generally write off your mortgage interest👍

2 & 3) You earn equity in your home every month when you pay your mortgage. You are paying your loan down and property values are usually rising. Equity is the difference between what the market value of your home is vs what you still owe on your mortgage.💰

4) Your personal net worth usually increases a whopping percentage amount 📈

5) Being involved in local communities and laying roots makes provides a great opportunity for an awesome social life 🏡

STOP Renting, buy a home and thank me later!

Let's break it down...over the past decades rents have been increasing constantly, but your mortgage payment never changes. It stays the same over the length of the loan (or even decreases depending on your downpayment)👍

Now not only does your monthly payment stay the same but you gain equity in your home every single month - equity is the home value minus what you actually owe on your home.
Now you gain equity on your home in so many different ways: making a down payment when you purchase the home, making your monthly principal payments and appreciation of the home value every year which just like rent payments increases by about 3,5%🤩

Have a look at the slides to see an example calculation . However you twist and turn it, it is always a good investment into your future to buy a home 🏡

People were asked what they believe is the safest investment over the next 10 years? The majority of participants answered Real Estate and they are pretty accurate with their guess - here is why!

According to the NAR (National Association of Realtors) the average home owner stays in their home for about 13 years. In this time frame, your home value is going to increase, you will pay down the mortgage of your home and gain more equity and if you're staying in your home as primary residence for all that time you don't have to pay capital gains taxes on the profit you are making. Sweet deal, isn't it? 🤩

Me > Anxiety
Me > Fear
Me = Greatness
what does greatness even mean? To me greatness begins within you. When you stop fearing to fail when you stop feeling anxious about what people may think about you, that’s when you start living in your true purpose, it will show on the outside and greatness will follow🔑
