Okay, the benefit is a bonus, but that's not the reason to buy the house. You should be buying a house as an investment, not for the "tax benefits" If you want tax benefits, invest in an IRA. See what the prof. has to say about that... Hmmm, Under young and singel the book says “buy a house for the tax benefit” Why would anyone buy a house for the tax benefit?
