Mortgage Insurance Now Tax Deductible
January 5th, 2007 by John Thomas
Mortgage Insurance will be tax deductible in 2007 for some Delaware homeowners, that means for some home owners looking for a 100% financing, it may be cheaper to get mortgage insurance rather than a piggy back loan.
The 109th Congress passed the tax law in its final hours. Hundreds of thousands of homeowners will save a total of $91 million when they file their tax returns in 2008, according to estimates prepared by the mortgage insurance industry.
Bottom line for Delaware consumers: Don’t get a piggyback loan without taking a serious look at mortgage insurance, because mortgage insurance is likely to be cheaper in the long run, and it might even cost less in the short run.
