There are some definite pros to owning your own house. So, if you're interested in knowing more about what those are and if you think you have a pretty good idea, stay tuned because we're about to get started right now!

Hello, my name is Kasie Gray, I'm your homegirl, broker associate here in Ukiah, and home-owning expert pro. I just always come up with the weirdest things. I don't even know what I say or why I say it but it is what it is and if you want to know about the pros of owning your own home, make sure to stay tuned! I mean to talk about it right now!

I'm going to stop talking but please make sure to subscribe and hit that bell. So you get notified when I post new videos because I'd really appreciate it and it would really make my day. Every time I get a new subscriber, I smile and you want to be the reason why I smile today. So, just do it! You know. It's nice. It doesn't cost you anything like that's Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel, one of them says.

So, one you don't have to wait for the landlord to fix anything that goes wrong. If something goes wrong, when you're a tenant, as most people know it takes forever and a day to get something done, and get something fixed, and it's annoying. You're like, bro, it's your property, you want it to be good, don't you? But sometimes they just take too long and it's annoying. And when you're a homeowner, you can just call whoever you want, and get them out asap as possible! You know, as soon as possible. So yes, that's one pro.

The second pro is you can do whatever you want you can change. The floors you can change, the paint you can change, the light fixture you can tear down, and the deck if you have a permit. I mean there are things that you can do because there's like laws and stuff but you don't have a landlord saying you can't put up board and bat and then paint it black. You might have a boyfriend that says you can't do that but you don't have a landlord that says you can't. So I'm just very emotional about that apparently.

Number three is you get to pay your mortgage every single month and you know where that equity is going. Into your pocket, not the landlords. At some point you'll be able to sell your house and have a ton of money that you already paid but I mean it's technically like still yours because eventually, you get to sell it and get that money back. So talk about great!

Number four, there are some pretty awesome tax benefits. So when tax season rolls around you'll really like that mortgage interest deduction.

Number five, you become so much more invested in the community in your neighborhood in the safety and surroundings of where your house is, and that in itself is just amazing. That's why we need homeowners that live and work and play in their community so that, you know, the community as a whole becomes a better place. So I think that's a great pro and you also get the chance of building long-lasting neighborhood friends. I mean that's wonderful! I know people that love their neighborhood and would never move regardless of the house because they love their neighborhood so so much.
