Dear WSK,

Laura, our Aumakua in Hawaii and Mike Reed our EA in California chime in with answers.

Laura lists the main benefits – You get to deduct your mortgage interest and property tax; also mortgage insurance if the home was purchased after a specific date.

Mike adds that on a new home you may deduct the points paid in connection with obtaining a new loan. For more information, see Pub 530.

Then there’s one other important benefit. You can sell the house after two years or more without paying taxes on the profits – up to $250,000 for an individual – double for a couple. For folks who don’t mind moving every few years, and fixing up a home – this is a terrific way to build a relatively tax-free lifestyle.

And if you’re still trying to decide whether owning or renting is better, there are some things to consider in a recent MarketWatch article.
