Stop Renting
Stop Throwing Money Away

How much of your income is the Government taking?  
Did you know it costs you about $1,230 per month to pay $800 in rent?

Since Uncle Sam takes about 25% of your income and the great State of Oregon takes another 10% you lose around $430 to the government in taxes.*

If you are ready to start working for YOU, give me a call and I will show you how you can put that entire $1,230 per month towards YOUR home, YOUR equity, and pay

NO tax on that income.  Your hard earned money should go to you!  Does investing your money in YOUR home sound better than shipping it off to Washington DC?  If so, give me a call today.

How much are you losing?  Take your rent and divide by .65.*  Example $800/.65=$1,230.  Then take a look at the Monthly Payment Chart below.  How much equity are you losing each month by renting?

Do you also know that a $1,200 mortgage payment can get you into a brand new home?  Additionally, there are several subdivisions with $0 closing cost!  Families are moving into these homes everyday and taking control of their income.

Why is buying better for YOU than renting?  First, you are building equity in your own home and not for the apartment owner.  Second, the tax system benefits home owners by allowing you to deduct mortgage interest from your income taxes.  During the first years of ownership, the interest will be almost all of the payment.  Here are two examples:

Renter A
Gross Pay =  $2,000
minus Taxes (@35%) - $700
Net Pay = $1,300
minus Rent - $800
Remaining Cash = $500
Home Owner B
Gross Pay =  $2,000
minus Mortgage Interest 
(almost all your house payment in the first years)
- $1,200
Taxable Income = $800
minus Taxes (@35%)=  $280
Rent (your a home owner) - $0
Remaining Cash = $520!!!

You own your own home and have MORE CASH!  All because you get to deduct the Mortgage Interest portion of your monthly home payment from your taxable income.  Keep in mind these are basic examples and actual tax savings could be more or less than the example.  In the first year you also get to deduct all the fees (closing costs) to buy the home!

Start putting YOUR money to work for YOU!  Give me a call today and start the new year by improving YOUR wealth and not the landlords.
*This rate will vary based on your actual tax rate.

 

So, when you are ready for more information, let's start your property search!
