Also, Will Mortgage Interest Stay Deductable?

The federal tax code was established in 1913 where all interest was deductible on personal tax returns. In 1986 Congress eliminated the interest deduction for consumer debt. A recent NAR poll showed that 79% of Americans hope that the mortgage deduction will stay put while the others say in raises home prices and losing it will really only impact the wealthy. In January Congress boosted the tax rate for those single filers that earned more than $400,000 and married couples earning over $450,000. The others reduced the value of mortgage interest and income to $250,000 for singles and $300,000 for couples and for now that is the limit of takeaway.

Today's buyers are way better off than they were in the past dating back to the 1970's. The homes affordability and low home loan rates help buyers get their dream home.
