7 reasons why to stop renting and purchase a home Click here to search all Active MLS listings in the Charleston and surrounding areas   Still renting? You must have a good reason. Although, we're not really sure what it is. With rents continuing to rise across the country, interest rates staying around historic levels, and new loans lowering down payment requirements, it just makes sense to take the leap to homeownership. Maybe you've got terrible credit and don't want to take the time to improve it (or don't know about loans that accept lower scores)? Or, maybe you just like giving your money away. If you're still not on board, these 7 reasons might change your mind. Because owning a home is still less expensive than renting across the country   GOBankingRates ' annual survey of "the cost of renting versus owning a home in all 50 states and the District of Columbia" just came out, and, while they "found that the number of places w

What makes a good REALTOR? I was amazed at what most people that hold a Real Estate license had to say ab out themselves. Not one individual looked at purchasing property as a business transaction.

Mortgage Interest Rates Reverse Course in 2017 To start the year, housing experts all agreed on one thing: 2017 was going to be the year we would see mortgage interest rates begin to rise. After years of historically low rates, and an improving economy, the question wasn’t  if they would increase  but instead  how much they would increase . Some thought we could see rates hit 5-5.5% by the end of the year. However, the exact opposite has happened. Instead of higher rates as we head into the middle of 2017, we now have the lowest rates of the year (as reported by  Freddie Mac ). Here is a graph of mortgage rate movement since the beginning of the year: Projections still call for an increase… Four major entities ( Freddie Mac ,   Fannie Mae , the  Mortgage Bankers Association  and the  National Association of Realtors ) are still projecting that rates will increase by the fourth quarter of the year. Bottom Line No one knows for sure where interest rates will be in s

Current tax laws offer several tax breaks that can help make second-home ownership more affordable. Different tax rules apply depending on how you use the property, for either personal or rental use, or a combination of the two. Personal Use As long as you use the property as a second home – and not as a rental – you can deduct mortgage interest the same way you would for your primary home. You can deduct up to 100% of the interest you pay on up to $1.1 million of debt that is secured by your first and second homes (that's the total amount – it's not $1.1 million for each home). You can also deduct property taxes on your second home and, for that matter, as many properties as you own. Like a primary residence, however, you generally can't write off any of the costs associated with utilities, upkeep or insurance (there are exceptions to this; for example, you may be able to claim a home office deduction if part of your home is used for business purposes).
