Getting Started 
Buying a home can be filled with stress and uncertainty – especially if you're buying your first home. The good news is that the more you know the easier and more pleasant the experience. A little time spent doing your homework to get a good idea of what you’re looking for, what you can afford to pay for it, and what all the terms and jargon really mean will help a lot.
So, whether you’re a first-time home buyer or a veteran, our “Tools For Buyers” guide can help you to figure out what the home buying process is all about and how Copper Basin can make the experience easier for you and your family.
To begin with, consider just a few of the benefits of owning a home:
You Own It – It’s yours! That means you can do what you want with it. Plus, home ownership gives you stability and security – it’s an investment in your future.
It Can Appreciate – Yes, housing doesn’t go up all the time, but historically over the years, real estate has consistently appreciated, and many people view buying a home as a hedge against inflation.
It’s Deductible – There are great tax benefits to home ownership. Tax laws favor homeowners and in most cases your home mortgage interest and property taxes are fully deductible.
You Gain With No Pain – Once you’ve lived in your home for two years, you can exclude from $250,000 to $500,000 of profit from capital gains if you decide to sell. Take that straight to the bank!
You’re Building Equity – Each and every month your mortgage payment is reducing the principal balance of your loan – your nest-egg is growing.
