Hey, guys How are you today? I wanted to talk about five financial benefits of obtaining a mortgage.
• Number one, the mortgage interest rate is usually lower interest than other interest rates on the market. So, if you compare it to credit card debt or you compare it to other debt that you may be taking it on, the rate on your mortgage is usually lower.
• Number two, the interest payments on your mortgage are usually tax deductible. So, when you are making your payments, that interest portion is tax deductible.
• Number three, if you're taking out a mortgage and you have additional money, you're very well able to invest those funds into vehicles that yield a better return than your mortgage. So, for example, you know, you may invest into other projects, or you may invest into long-term equities or something like that where you can get a better return than today's market rates. Okay?
• Number four, liquidity. So, if you have extra money and you don't pay off your mortgage and the older you get, the extra money gets invested into other vehicles that are a little easier to either sell or tap into, you gain liquidity by investing into other vehicles while still not paying off your home.
• And number five. The mortgage payments will get smaller over time or will seem smaller over time. What do i mean by that? We all know there's inflationary pressures whether its today's market which is really high or generally there is inflation. Your mortgage is 30 years and over time that mortgage payment if it's locked in for 30 years, will seem to be smaller and smaller. So again, guys, five reasons to get a mortgage, important to review them and think about them. Don't always use cash to buy homes. Hopefully, that was helpful.
