If you own:

Your mortgage payment buys your home.

Play time in a fenced backyard for your children and/or pets.
Mortgage interest is tax deductible. Check with a tax advisor for more information.

Everything is new.
Goodbye storage unit! Enjoy tons of cabinet and closet space.
Energy efficient homes. Big savings on utilities!
Your laundry is done in your own utility room.
Mail is delivered directly to a brick mailbox in your front yard.

Your rent payments buy your landlord’s house.
You may have to pay extra for a covered parking space or garage.
You may not have a front or back yard.
Monthly rent payments are not tax deductible.
