5 Positive Emotional and Psychological Aspects of buying a Home in Los Angeles For all intents and purposes, homeownership is not only one of the largest investments you’ll make in your lifetime, it has numerous benefits that exceed the magnitude of that investment. Here are 5 reasons why: • You and your loved ones will live healthier lives – as a renter, you have no control over the type of chemicals and materials landlords use in their rental properties. As a homeowner, you’re in complete control of these issues. • You’ll feel less stressed out – as long as you can manage your mortgage, owning a home won’t be stressful. Furthermore, you’ll have a stronger sense of community which results in lower stress levels. • You’ll feel more of a connection to your community – the purchase of a home is a long-term investment in the community around you and promotes civic engagement. • Your children’s behavior will improve – research has shown that homeowner’s children exhibit fewer behavioral problems than renter’s children. • Your children’s performance in school will improve – homeownership provides stability to your children and contributes positively to how well they do in school. Although they are sometimes debated, the financial benefits of owning a home are well-documented.
