Due to the deduction in income taxes the government has decided to start subsidizing individuals purchase of a home. All property taxes and interest that you pay in a period of a year can be deducted from your gross income to lower your taxable income. So lets say your original loan balance was $150,000 with an interest rate of 8%. So within the 1st year you would pay interest in an estimated amount of interest around $10,000 give or take a bit. So if you was required to start paying on the first of January then your taxable income would be close to $10,000 less thanks to the interest rate deduction of the IRS.
Property taxes are also deductible. Any property taxes you pay within a 12 month timer period may also be deducted from your annual gross income, which would in return lower your tax obligation. If you are able to put your income tax savings towards purchasing a new home it would be a wise investment. Buying a house is a big purchase and if anything can benefit you while making the decision on whether to buy or not. Over time you will also be able to save because of the lower interest.
