What Does This Mean For You?
A home purchased in 2016 for $250,000 has the potential to increase your family wealth as much as $44,000 over the next five years! I don’t know about you but that sounds a lot like free money to me, and certainly would be a great start for a first time home buyer. I believe home ownership is still the cornerstone to building family wealth in America.
