➻ Rent payments go straight into the pockets of the landlord, and at the end of the day, you’ll have nothing to show for it, as the property doesn’t belong to you.
➻ Mortgage payments are an investment in the future. As the remaining balance on a mortgage is reduced, home equity increases, padding your own retirement account – and not your landlord’s. Better to spend your money on your own home than on unnecessary, short-term expenses that won’t provide value later.
2. Resale Value

However, risk in real estate is given a sense of reassurance due to the ever appreciating value of property that Malaysia has seen thus far. Simply buying a home in the right district can mean earning a profit of even double the purchase price in 5-10 years (or less, if the area is highly profitable).
3. Low Interest Rates

4. Supplement your Retirement Income
➻ As millennials contemplate buying homes, they should think about the future. They’ll benefit from having a home as a storehouse for retirement funds, and their homes will likely be paid off by retirement, allowing them to tap into home equity to fund retirement benefits.
5. Emotional Value
➻ Although it is not a primary benefit for millennial homebuyers, there is also a sense of pride that homeownership invokes. You’ll never forget that sense of achievement… and the look of awe on your peers’ face.
