They would be large because in the case of an owner who rents to someone else, the owner must pay tax on the rental income. An owner-occupant is not taxed on inputed income from rent (though some have proposed that.) It's true that some repairs can be deducted by those who rent out a house, but on average owner-occupiers would have an advantage.<br /><br />b) When he talks about reducing leverage, he means that people will no longer have as strong an incentive to get Home Equity Lines of Credit and take money out of their house to pay for other things.<br /><br />And yes, on average these proposals should bring down the prices somewhat, which would help first time buyers.John Thackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269867695937765049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33399132.post-7933029371636496442011-10-06T20:26:22.730-07:002011-10-06T20:26:22.730-07:00Makes all the sense in the world.

I have couple of questions:<br />a) Mortgage deductions are one of the tax incentives to buy a house. If we donot have deductions, then overall tax benefits will be less. Can you please elaborate on why you consider tax benefits to be same with mortgage deduction removed?<br />b) Leverage is one of the main reasons first time buyers or most of the people can buy. Else, people will be unable to pay for complete price. <br />Also these proposals will also bring down the prices dramatically too?<br /><br />Thanks<br />NageshGashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04516781133851010336noreply@blogger.com
