Over the holidays I discovered this: Today is the End of Yesterday, and the Beginning of Tomorrow. We have no influence over the past, but we have immense control over the future. The economy is showing some signals of growing strength, people are more optimistic about the future and the housing market holds some extremely good buys. With the downard march of house prices, everyone who rents should be looking to see what they can get for the same or less money - and be able to write Mortgage Interest, Real Estate Taxes and Mortgage Insurance off on their taxes. And grow equity at the same time. That is the way an investment is supposed to work, so - with interest rates as low as they are - find out what you can own and call your own. Interest rates are not going to stay low forever, so seize the moment and check out home ownership. You will be glad you did!!
