Top 5 Reasons People Buy Real Estate, according to a Gallup Poll

Top 5 Reasons People Buy Real Estate, according to a Gallup Poll, include:

FINANCIAL                                                 NON FINANCIAL

1. See owning as an investment            1. Belief in homeownership

2. Chance to build equity and credit       2. Don't want to live in a rental

3. Smarter than paying rent                  3. Better place for the family

4. More cost effective than renting         4. Ability to do what they want

5. Financial security and stability           5. Pride of Ownership

Implied within these 5 financial and 5 non-financial reasons people buy real estate, I believe are:  the tax benefits associated with buying a home or investment property, building a retirement fund, and the freedom homeownership allows.

What is most important to you for buying a home for yourself and your family and for buying an investment property?
