Are you buying for your own use or as a investment to rent or fix and flip? Buying a property for investment will be covered in another post. In this article the benefits of buying a home for personal use is covered:

    Appreciation
    You may build equity if your home goes up in value. History is on the side of home ownership here.

    Mortgage Reduction
    Since a portion of your payment pays down the amount of the mortgage, eventually you will be mortgage free. Rent never goes away!

    Improvements
    You can decorate and improve your home to suit your taste and increase its value and enjoy owning your own home at the same time.

    Stability vs Instability
    As a home owner, you have complete control over when you move versus moving when you may not want to. You will also enjoy peace of mind living in your own home.

    Retirement Fund and Savings Plan
    A mortgage-free home is the best retirement fund. You get to live in and enjoy your investment.

    Monthly Cost – Rent vs Buying
    In most cases, the cost of owning your own home may be cheaper than renting. A handy payment calculator is coming soon that will help you compare rent vs owning.

    5% Down Payment
    First time home buyers, and many others renting, are entitled to the minimum down payment of 5%!

    Cash Back Mortgage
    Some banks are offering cash back incentives on mortgages to home buyers, versus extending the lowest mortgage rate, providing help with purchasing furniture, appliances, or even legal fees.
