Across the board, experts agree that the new tax plan decreases incentives for homeownership and reduces the tax benefits of owning a homeparticularly in highly taxed, expensive markets such as California, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey. But on the flip side, that means that if fewer folks are motivated to buy, then there’s less competition for those who want in the game. Plus, some taxpayersincluding renterswill see a tax cut. That increase in buyers' disposable income could spur demand from folks who are looking to build equity as a homeowner, rather than flushing away their savings in rent.

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:7 (ESV) Today many will pause to celebrate Valentine's Day.... A day that has been set aside where people can show the person they love how much they care about them. Many dollars will be spent today on cards, flowers, and candy to show that special someone that they are loved and cared for. Although this is a day where loved is shared some will be upset at the lack of gifts that they expected from that certain someone. There will be some who are expecting that this is the day that he will finally pop the question, and their future will now be brighter, while others will take the walk down the aisle to marry the one they love. Valentine's Day can bring a range of emotions to many people, and will cause some relationships to end, and others to flourish. Every day that the Lord allows us to live should be a day that we bask in His love for us, and show our loved ones just how special they really are to us. The Scripture reminds us that, love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. I encourage you today to show your love to those who the Lord has blessed you with. It may not be with cards, flowers and gifts, but there is a way each day you can show someone how much you truly love them. Every day the Lord gives to you, is a day that He shows you how much He loves and cares about you. The Lord does not just show up one day a year and gives you gifts, but His love is shown daily, and we should reciprocate by showing our love daily to those He has placed in our lives. The road will get rough sometimes, but remember that true love bears all things, and it believes all things, and it hopes all things, and it will endure no matter what happens, because true love will last forever. We have not always been good, but God's love for us never ceases and on this Valentine's Day, be grateful for the love of the Lord in your life. On this Valentine's Day I am walking in the true love of the Lord, and will show that love always. Since I know the Lord loves me and He shows me daily I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!" Be Inspired,
