Everything!
Whilst the process of buying might not be easy, the “owning” is great. Here’s why:
1. It’s yours. All yours! Well, the banks too, but keep making those repayments and you don’t have to worry about that.
2. You can decorate it without having to ask permission. Paint it any colour you want, hang a picture wherever you’d like, rip up and replace anything you don’t like. As long as you follow council and/or strata rules you can do what you like.
3. The value. As soon as you drive it out of the showroom with a new car the value decreases. It’s not like that when you buy a house. As long as you do your research on the location and future development in the area, chances are very high that your home will increase in value exponentially.
4. Once you’ve paid built equity in the property by paying off some of the mortgage and the value has increased, you can leverage that equity to buy an investment property – creating more wealth and security for your future.
There are so many benefits to owning property, but most of all you can turn your house or apartment into your home, and start making memories there.
If you need motivation, a plan, information or direction, please get in touch. I’ve even written a book full of information to help you on your journey.
Owning a home is the great Australian dream and such a huge milestone in life. I’d love to help you make that happen if that’s your goal.
