I used to really chart these 4 benefits and it caused me to write a complete chapter on 2 of the 4, C&D.I also learned a couple other things: Your home is about the only thing you get to declare interest paid and about the ONLY place you can avoid capital gains every couple years and make a killing...Good luck digesting the above.

I do not know any other market besides Midwest, Kansas City MO, to be precise.
