Searching for Answers... to buy or to rent?

Wondering if you should purchase a home or continue renting? There are many benefits of home ownership you may not be aware of. The best decision on your pocket book may be to buy and not rent.

Everyone wants AFFORDABLE MONTHLY PAYMENTS
Monthly mortgage payments can be less expensive than your monthly rent. There are so many terrific loan programs available now there could find a program that brings your payments equal to or slightly above what you pay in rent now!

HOME OWNERSHIP BENEFIT: Tax savings ***** What kind of saving you ask MORE >>
Owning a home can save you hundreds (even thousands) of dollars in taxes each year-money you can reinvest into your home to build equity, earmark for savings, or spend however you choose.

HOMEOWNERSHIP: Budgeting Made Easy
Owning your own home can mean a monthly living expense you can count on. A fixed rate means your mortgage payment stays the same, unlike the yearly increase in rent. Making monthly (even yearly) budgeting that much easier.

HOME OWNERSHIP: Give Me the Control!
With home ownership you inherent the excitement of having the freedom to make decisions about how you live. Take out a wall, put up the trees you like, choose what type of pets you will allow in your house! Almost anything goes!

HOMEOWNERSHIP: Homestead Tax Exemption
As a homeowner of a primary residence in the state of Florida you can file for homestead exemption and save $25,000 a year on your assesed value (taxable value) of your home AND lock that amount not to increase more than 3% per year! Click here for more information on this benefit >>


THE FIRST STEP? Plan Plan Plan

So your ready to start planning, where do you start?

YOUR BUDGET
Do you know how much you CAN spend? How much you WANT to pay a month in a mortgage payment? A good rule of thumb is 25 to 33 percent of your gross monthly income. But the best way to find out the answers to these very important questions is to get PRE-APPROVED by a local lender in the area you are purchasing. That way you will know exactly how much home you can afford.

ASK YOUR MORTGAGE EXPERT:

  • How much you should have for a down payment and your options for making that payment.
  • To explain interest rates and points
  • Loan Terms and does a 15-20-30 or even a 45 year mortgage loan fit your needs

Once you have the answers to the above questions, then YOU can make a decision if homeownership is right for you!
