OWNING YOUR HOME IS THE SINGLE SMARTEST MOVE YOU CAN MAKE IN YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE.
How it works
You may not think of it this way, but a mortgage is leverage to build your financial future. When you employ leverage, you use someone else’s capital to buy something. Leverage is how many wealthy people got that way. A mortgage allows you to use your money and the lender’s money to grow your wealth. We think that’s smart.
Why it works
You can deduct mortgage interest and property tax from your income, so more of your money works for you (instead of the IRS). Your equity in your home may grow if the value of your home goes up, adding to your principal investment. That’s leverage doing the wealth-building for you, so you can build the life you want.
