What would you do with property in the US?
1.borrow against it
2.pay property taxes :lol
3.rent the property, in addition to borrowing against it.

1 and 2 are if you purchased the home outright.

tax breaks. If you are going to pay $1000 dollars a month in income tax, might as well pay for a home on a beach front, then pay the IRS, right?

The rent would pay for the bank payment if you purchased on credit.

I am sure there are MANY other advantages, but I am no expert.

Your credit history in the US is like GOLD. You can do so many things with it. Simply put...

You have a decent vacation spot thats yours at ROCK bottom payments and almost nill in interest. Rent the home the rest of the year and presto.

Eventually you will build a great patrimony.
