Stop paying your landlords mortgage.
Start building your own credit and become more self-sufficient.
There are several advantages to purchasing a house versus renting from someone and paying their mortgage. First, you own something significant. This not only builds your credit rating but it also enables you to have access to money if you ever need or want it. For example, if you have an unforeseen emergency you can refinance your house, and at decent rates, be able to have cash to help pay for what ever it is you need.
For tax purposes, your mortgage interest and your property taxes are deductible. This adds up quickly, especially since there is no tax benefits from renting. Furthermore if you work from home, which many of us do that consider Lake Tahoe real estate, you are able to claim office deductions for various parts of your home office. Depending on your residential purchase there are profits from the sale of the estate that the IRS will not tax on applicable capital gains.
The obvious pleasures of owning your own home are that you can do with it as you please. If you like purple, then purple it is. If you think your closet it too small, make it larger, add some shelving or a revolving shoe rack. If the children want their room more kid friendly, you can set up a swing or paint the walls a thousand colors. When you own the house; it is yours and you may do what ever you want to it and with it.
