7 Reasons To Buy A Home: Here's Reason #4

By Heather Cole Gwinnett Daily Post: Homesource Paying Yourself!  If you fancy yourself an expert handyman and you want to put a little extra money in your pocket each month, becoming a landlord might seem like a great idea.  Although owning a plethora of homes in order to rent them out can decidedly be to your benefit, there are also a number of headaches that your can accumulate when you choose this option.   Purchasing your own personal home, however, has many of the same benefits of being a landlord, but without some of the drawbacks. Unlike renting, you do not have to make sure that all of the properties are rented and, if  they are rented, that your tenants pay the rent on time.  Also, in choosing to buy a home for yourself, any required maintenance or desired upgrades will be something you will get to enjoy daily and not just see when you  occasionally stop in to check on the property.   More than either of these benefits, though, is the incredible opportunity for profit.
