Ever wonder about the difference of renting or owning your own home? There are advantages to owning that you might not have considered.

You have to live somewhere...why not build equity in your own home so that you are the one increasing your long term wealth?

There are other deductions and tax savings that apply as well. Check with your tax advisor for full details.
