Welcome back, fellow readers! Make sure to take a moment to grab a coffee, tea, or drink of choice, and settle in as we get started! Today’s topic is for all, specifically our buyers! We’re going to be talking about what are the reasons for buying a property instead of renting (apartment, house, condo, etc).
There are a multitude of reasons you could be on the fence deciding whether you want to buy or rent a place. It’s completely understandable and many of us go through it! Sometimes, certain components come into play such as job mobility, finances, maintenance, long-distant dream of living in a different destination, and so on.
So, we’re going to be talking about fivereasons you should aim to buy property (apartment, house. condo, etc.) instead of rent it:
1. Building equity
When you purchase a home, you have the opportunity to build equity over time as you pay down your mortgage and the value of the property continues to rise. In other words, your portion of property ownership will continue to increase as time passes.
2. Tax benefits
Beyond the Code 60 tax incentives you may acquire in your relocation to Puerto Rico, there are standard tax benefits one receives as a homeowner. By owning a home, one can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes on their federal income taxes, which can significantly reduce the overall cost of property ownership.
3. Stability
You can be an excellent tenant, but there is always the off chance you’re your renting experience can be unpredictable, as landlords can raise the rent or sell the property, forcing you to move. Buying a home provides additional stability and the ability to stay put for as little or as long as you like.
4. Customization
One of the most satisfying (and fun!) parts about owning our own home is customizing it however you like! You won’t be limited by certain contract policies and can have all the freedom to make changes to match your personal style and ambiance.
5. Investment
Finally, buying a home can be a sound investment,as property values tend to increase over time. We find ourselves in a recession these days, but people are searching for homes in our real estate market. Since recessions are part of the real estate cycle, we must be aware of the next phase which is recovery. Purchasing a property, whether you will live in it or rent it, can provide a significant financial return when the property is eventually sold.
Once you have had the bigger conversations with yourself, and those around you, about where you would like to relocate for a good amount of time, it’ll be time to decide whether you want to rent or buy.
