Home Ownership 

5 Biggest advantages

Equity.  Over time, homes have always gained in value, so you can expect to get your investment back and typically much more when you sell.

Tax Deductions. Save on taxes based on the interest and realestate taxes you pay instead of letting a landlord get the benefit.

Credit.  Money you put down and pay into a mortgage to build equity can be made available to you in the form of loan or line of credit.

Stability.  While most landlords raise rents every year, you can choose a fixed-rate mortgage where the payments stay the same.

Lower payments? It depends on your rent, of course, but if you can afford just 5% down, your monthly payments may actually be less then your rent.
