Why You Should Buy a Home

Why You Should Buy a Home

Have you considered buying a home in Florida? From being a prime location to live to increasing your net worth, there are many advantages to owning a home in Central Florida. As June is National Homeownership Month, we weigh in four benefits of purchasing a home.

Consistent monthly housing payments

No longer will you have to deal with the unpredictability that comes from renting such as lease termination, change in landlord or rent spikes. As a matter of fact, buying a house rather than renting is often a more affordable option. While home insurance rates and property taxes may not always be steady, you are able to pay the same amount of fixed rate throughout the entire time of your home loan through a fixed-rate mortgage.

Beginning your retirement mortgage-free

There’s no feeling like getting to live in a house you can fully call your own. Once you pay off your mortgage, you’ll be able to allocate money you’d be spending on housing to other things you’ve been wanting to splurge on. Now that’s an attainable Florida retirement dream!

If the house you’re purchasing isn’t the one you want to officially settle in forever, you can always sell it and use the money to fund your retirement. After all, the average American has about double in home equity as they do in their retirement savings.

Receiving Florida tax benefits

Owning a home in Central Florida gives you the advantage of getting to claim some extra tax deductions such as:

Mortgage interest
Mortgage points and insurance
Property taxes
Medical home improvements
Energy efficient upgrades

Earn extra income

Whether you choose to hire a property manager to lease your property to a tenant, host with Airbnb (the average host earns about $924 a month!) or rent out a spare room, by owning property you have the opportunity to earn passive income.

Owning property in Florida is something to take pride in. It’s a milestone to celebrate! While it is a significant commitment, the financial and lifestyle benefits make it a worthwhile investment.

The Grove: Condotels for Sale in Orlando

Imagine owning a vacation home in Orlando just five minutes from Walt Disney World® where you can lodge or rent out for extra income as you please, all through an on-site rental agency. The Grove Resort & Waterpark’s spacious condotels for purchase in Orlando, Florida offer buyers that very opportunity, in addition to all the greatest perks that come with owning a hybrid between a condo and a hotel.

What is a Condotel?

Condo hotels, also known as condotels, are buildings that are legally condominiums but operate as hotels. Units may be sold to individual owners for their personal use and/or for renting out to others. Condotels such as ones in The Grove, have an on-site agency taking care of everything from marketing these suites to the concierge services, maintenance, reservations, housekeeping and more. Unlike a timeshare where you usually get only a week out of the year to use for vacation purposes, when you own a condotel, you are owning real estate. By holding ownership of this type of property, you enjoy more flexibility as to when you choose to stay there and when you would like to open it up for guests.

About The Grove Resort & Waterpark

The Grove’s residential-style suites currently available for purchase come fully furnished, have two to three bedroom floor-plans and start from the $350s. They include a fully equipped kitchen perfect for home-cooked meals, separate dining and living room, full-sized washer and dryer and a screened-in balcony ideal for when you feel like just taking it easy. The Orlando, Florida luxury vacation home community truly offers the best of both worlds by featuring amenities found in both hotels and vacation rentals.
