Buying a home verses renting

When you pay rent instead of a mortgage, your money all goes to the landlord.  You can deduct the cost of your mortgage loan interest from your federal income taxes. You can also deduct the property taxes that you pay as a homeowner. When you sell your home, it should be worth more than when you purchased it.
