💰 Is homeownership really a good investment? Let's break it down: ⁣
⁣
✅ Equity Growth – Every mortgage payment increases your ownership stake in the home. ⁣
⁣
✅ Appreciation – Home values tend to increase over time, building wealth. ⁣
⁣
✅ Tax Benefits – Deductions on mortgage interest, property taxes, and capital gains can save you money. ⁣
⁣
✅ Fixed Costs vs. Rent Hikes – A fixed mortgage payment locks in housing costs, while rent often increases yearly. ⁣

💡 Planning to sell? Timing is everything! ⁣
⁣
Selling too soon can cost you in taxes, closing costs, and lost equity. Here's what to consider: ⁣
⁣
✅ Avoid Capital Gains Tax – If you sell before living in the home for 2 years, you may owe capital gains tax on your profit. ⁣
⁣
✅ Build Enough Equity – Selling before 5 years could mean you break even or lose money after agent fees and closing costs. ⁣
⁣
✅ Market Conditions Matter – Interest rates and inventory levels affect the list price of your home. ⁣
⁣

If you work from home, you might qualify for a home office tax deduction! But not all remote workers are eligible—here's what you need to know. ⁣
To deduct your home office expenses, you must meet these IRS rules: ⁣
⁣
✔ Must be a business owner. ⁣
⁣
✔ Exclusive Use: The space must be 100% dedicated to business (no using the kitchen table or shared living spaces). ⁣
⁣
✔ Regular Use: You must consistently use the space for work. ⁣
⁣
✔ Principal Place of Business: Your home office should be your main workspace (or used regularly for meetings with clients/customers). ⁣
