The advantages of purchasing your home should be obvious if you are a pet parent. No security deposit for pets. Not having to worry if a landlord will accept pets. You don’t have to worry about a security deposit or a pet deposit and you don’t have to worry about getting these deposits back if your pet had an accident or destroyed the blinds.
I recently helped a lovely young couple to purchase a home in Woodbride. They initially contacted me about renting a home in Woodbridge, but then they decided to buy instead, mainly because they saw the advantages of buying and also the negatives about renting with their two dogs and cats. Here is their testimonial:
We couldn’t possibly say enough good things about Claudia!! She jumped through hoops for us and found the perfect home to raise our family in. We moved to Woodbridge due to career change and started our search by looking at rental properties. Claudia helped us weigh the pros and cons and we quickly realized renting a home was not an option for us. In a matter of 16 hours, she had flipped our search to buying a property and had a very hard to choose from list of homes that matched our criteria perfectly. She helped us make educated decisions to narrow down the options and stayed focused and positive all during the crazy closing period!!! An added bonus is… she is one of our neighbors and regularly checks in to make sure we are settling in and still in love with our home! We can easily call her family! You would be making a huge mistake to pick a realtor some where else.
Advantages of Buying
When you own a home you currently have a great tax deduction. Interest payments are tax deductible. So if you compare renting versus buying, if you rent a home you can not deduct any rent payment from your end of the year taxes. I would say that’s a clear advantage of purchasing a home. You should consult your tax attorney to determine how exactly you can benefit from this and if it applies to you.
