Home Equity

When it comes to life in America, it can easily be said that owning our own home is one of our greatest desires and dreams. For many of us, our home not only houses our most important treasures - our families, pets, and memories, but it may also "house" one of our largest assets - our cash. This cash in your homwe is known as equity and is one of the biggest financial benefits of home ownership. A fundamental key to successful home ownership is the proper stewardship and protection of that home equity.

As we consider how many Americans buy and own real estate, it is troublesome to discover how many people simply don't understand the value of "Owning Real Estate the Right Way". Many people have grown up hearing their parents or grandparents saying something like this: "Work Hard in school, save up for a big down payment, pay off your mortgage as fast as you can, THEN start saving for retirement". While that advice does wax eloquent and sound like tried and true - salt of the earth insight, we must ask the question "is this right for me?".

Unless you are unusually blessed to have all the money you will ever need, then you will definitely need to pay close attention to your equity. You should also ensure that you are taking advantage of the tax deductibility of mortgage interest and mortgage insurance. If you own investment properties you should consult with your CPA or other Tax Professional to ensure you are benefiting from the allowable depreciation on those properties. Another great strategy is to engage the services of a Certified Mortgage Planner to ensure that your mortgage selection is working in harmony with your retirement plan.
