ABOUT
BUYING
Owning
a home can be a very rewarding experience. There's nothing quite
like the sense of pride you'll feel after you've moved into
your first home and added your own personal touches. And owning
a home provides you with great financial benefits, such as capital
appreciation and tax deductions. When tax benefits are factored
in, you almost always end up paying much less for an owned home
than you would for a comparable rental. That's right, if you
take the same amount of money you're paying in rent and put
it into your own home, you will enjoy a better home and a better
lifestyle. But
the actual process of buying a home can be a true ordeal. As
a first time buyer you're probably overwhelmed by all the decisions
you have to make regarding financing, choice of neighborhood,
and type of home. And of course, you want to buy a home that's
a good value. The drop in home prices in the late 80's and early
90's underscored the fact that you have to be vary careful about
how you spend your money.
