Tax Benefits

One of the biggest advantages of owning a home is that the interest on your mortgage is 100% tax deductible. Loan fees and points paid to discount your interest rate are also deductible.

 

Furthermore, you can deduct up to $100,000 in debt from a Home Equity Line of Credit.

 

The example below demonstrates how mortgage tax deductible benefits can make home ownership more affordable than renting – even with no money down.

 

Average area rents: $2,650/month
Average sales price of area home: $600,000
