There are a lot of places where you can invest your hard-earned money - but not all of them are guaranteed to make you money. Purchasing real estate, however, is a pretty safe bet for a few reasons. Here are 4 reasons why becoming a home owner is one of the best financial decisions you can make:

1. You're going to pay to live somewhere: If you are renting, you are basically throwing your money away. By purchasing a home, you are not only paying to live somewhere, but nurturing an investment that will be of worth to you down the road.
2. Forced savings: By making monthly mortgage payments, you are saving yourself future living expenses.  You are building equity, which is invaluable.
3. Great way to hedge inflation: When you buy a home its value increases as time goes on. If you lock in historically low interest rates now, you will be protecting yourself against future inflation.
4. Tax savings: You can deduct your mortgage interest from your taxes, which is a benefit you don't get when you rent.

These are only a handful of the many benefits of home ownership. If you have any questions about this topic or are interested in making a move here in Birmingham, give us a call or shoot us an email. We would love to make your dreams of home ownership come true!
