Changes to the MID could Destroy the Middle ClassSignificant financial implications could be knocking at your door because of Congress’ new federal debt ceiling plan. If you own your home and value the Mortgage Interest Deduction(MID), you NEED to take a few minutes to read this Article found in the LA Times to better understand how it will impact YOU and home ownership.
The housing market, still trying to stabilize after years of spiraling downward and record foreclosures, finds itself facing yet another challenge. The elimination of the MID could be detrimental to millions of homeowners and an unbearable crutch to the housing market.
Any changes to the mortgage interest deduction now or in the future could threaten recent progress toward stabilizing the housing market, critically erode home prices and values, destroy middle-class wealth accumulation and hurt economic growth. -NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun
Regardless of where the MID is headed, it is without a doubt something you need to follow. You need to be well versed on who to contact in Congress and not become complacent. “IT” could very well be one of the biggest threats to home ownership we have seen in the past 25 years.
