You may qualify for a $500 Leasing/Renter Rebate

It's not necessary for a renter to tie up a large amount of capital for a down payment, as with a home purchase. As long as the property is left in good condition, any security deposit paid will be returned to the renter at the end of the lease. One advantage of home ownership versus leasing is that home ownership gives the owner freedom to make whatever changes to the home he would like.

There are financial benefits to home ownership versus leasing. Unlike lease payments, each monthly mortgage payment builds equity in the home.

A final advantage to leasing versus home ownership is that renters avoid the risk of losing money if the value of the property declines.

You may qualify for a 1% Investor Rebate of the Purchase Price

Traditional equity investments are much easier to analyze in this way. You have historical data, and although past performance is not indicative of future results, you have a bit more control over how much risk you're exposed to when deciding what amount to invest, the asset allocation and so on. The interest expense on your mortgage is tax deductible, along with operating expenses, property taxes, insurance and depreciation.

Working with a CPA can be very helpful, particularly when investment properties or multiple residences are involved.
