Success
Failure
The 21st-century woman enjoys a noteworthy role in the decision-making process of homebuying. In addition to this significant empowerment, home loans taken by women also have significant benefits as compared to a man availing a home loan. From tax benefits to better interest rates to add-on offers, women today are wooed with the idea of being financially independent.
Financial independence translates to creating assets, including real estate properties. Being a long-time financial commitment, buying a home requires a lot of planning. Thus, utilising every available resource is undoubtedly a wise choice. Either individually or jointly with a family member, women can apply for a home loan to avail a wide array of benefits.
Involvement of women in the process of buying a house has some advantages.
Eligibility
Property value being as high as they are, financial institutions decide housing loan eligibility based on many parameters. One of the primary ones being monthly net income. Thus, when two people co-apply for the loan, the bank translates two co-applicants as two streams of disposable income. The income of both co-borrowers provides higher eligibility than individual income. Thus, working women make a significant contribution towards helping the process of home buying.
Tax Benefits
Following is the nature of tax deduction for co-applicants on a home loan
Lower Interest Rates
Currently, most lenders offer lower home loan interest rates to women applicants. Whether they are considered as safe borrowers or are empowering them toward financial literacy and independence, this contributes to a more-manageable EMI. Either applied independently or along with co-borrower, women receive the benefit of the lower interest rates on home loans.
Women are best known for their excellent planning skills that come in handy while managing the EMIs on a home loan. When such managing skills meet with modern-age tools like home loan EMI calculators , handling finances throughout the tenure of home loan only get simplified.
