Benefits of taking a home loan?
Availing a home loan is a long-term financial commitment and does offer good benefits such as:
Capital appreciation- Property prices will only increase and not depreciate
Increase in credit eligibility- After the full loan amount & ROI is paid to the bank, the borrower will have complete ownership of the house and can avail of loans against it.
Helps in building good credit history- A mortgage is considered to be good debt as compared to credit card debt.
Tax benefits- A home loan comes with some excellent tax benefits. The deduction can be availed for the interest paid on the home loan. People buying their first home and availing of joint home loans can also enjoy certain benefits.
