TAX SAVINGS 

Deduct the cost of your mortgage loan interest from your federal and state income taxes. In addition, you may deduct a portion of your property taxes.

APPRECIATION POTENTIAL

Real estate is a good long-term investment. Over the last ten years, appreciation in the Portland Metro area averaged 4.2%. Also, as you pay your mortgage loan down, your equity (wealth you have in your home) increases.

STABILITY

A fixed mortgage payment will not increase for 15 to 30 years, compared to area rents that increase from 5% to 8% in recent years.
