However, if home ownership is your dream, and you are financially prepared to purchase your first Carrollton home, then consider the perks of homeownership:

In other words, if you plan on staying in your home for at least five years, then chances are good that you will walk away with a nice profit.
- Tax incentives – There are plenty of tax incentives to owning a home, including being able to deduct your mortgage interest. Plus, you can receive up to $250,000 in profit when you sell, without having to pay taxes on it.
- The freedom of owning a home – Being able to redecorate, paint as you wish and remodel at a whim is yours when you own a home. Most renters are very limited when it comes to changing anything about their homes, but as a homeowner you have much more freedom and flexibility.
