Homeownership has long had its share of benefits. For one thing, homeowners often have more stability than renters because the property they own is considered an asset. If you own a home, you may have the option to borrow against it via a home equity loan or line of credit. And you can potentially use your home as an income stream, renting out spare rooms or a finished basement to drum up extra cash.
