Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the concept of homeownership advantages. These typically include financial benefits like property value appreciation and building equity, as well as non-financial benefits such as greater control over your living environment.
Step 2: Review each option carefully. 'Potential for property value appreciation' means the home might increase in value over time, which is a financial advantage.
Step 3: 'Greater control over living environment' refers to the ability to modify or personalize your home without landlord restrictions, which is a non-financial advantage.
Step 4: 'Ability to build equity over time' means that as you pay down your mortgage, you increase your ownership stake in the property, which is a financial advantage.
Step 5: 'Flexibility to move easily without selling property' is generally NOT an advantage of owning a home because selling a property can be time-consuming and costly, making it less flexible compared to renting.
