The aspiration of the American Dream is very viable for most in 2012. There are many benefits for owning a home in Doral, financially and personally. Doral is a very unique place to call home because of it’s small size, quality of life and proximity to many points of interest in Dade County.
I’ll list five good reasons to call Doral home:

1. Location- Doral is a great golfing community 5min. away from Miami International Airport, 15min. to South Beach, 10 min. to Coral Gables, 10min. to 3 major malls in the area, and surrounded with restaurants, parks and clubs.
2. Appreciation- Buying a home now (at today’s current rates) can almost ensure your home’s future appreciation.  There are still a good amount of foreclosed homes in Doral that are available for a fraction of the original cost. Inventory is shrinking though, and prices are going up as we speak, more so with condo’s and townhomes; sale prices are up 3% in 2011 compared to 2010. The single family market is also improving.
3. Schools- This is a "biggy". All schools in Doral are "A" schools.
4. Standard of living & quality of life- Doral is a very dynamic, well run city, multi cultured, and very family oriented.  Named #2 of America’s Top 25 towns to live well for its cultural amenities, pro-business environments, and a highly educated workforce by Forbes magazine. The quality of life is as good or better than most high end communities in Miami.  
5. Pride- Pride of ownership means many different things to many people. Doral being a golfing community could mean for most, a sense of achievement, or the fact that you can play golf from your back yard. Doral also being a predominantly Hispanic community could also mean being close to it’s people or for the preservation and pride of its culture.

Finally, when the pendulum swings and the market rebounds, pride will soon turn in to profits.

If you own a home, you have assets to protect and preserve. Start getting your paperwork in order.

• Mortgage interest deduction-  100% you paid in 2011, is deductible on you 2011 taxes. This month you should be getting a form from your bank indicating the precise amount of interest you paid. Also, this information will probably be available to you on line.

You probably paid some advanced interest on your home loan at closing- This information will be included in your lenders statement, and you can also find it in you HUD-1 settlement statement you received at closing.

• Property Tax Deductions- If you lived in your home most of the time, again, 100% of the property taxes should be deductible.
• Closing Cost Deductions-  State and local transfer or stamp taxes paid at closing (See HUD-1) are generally deductible.

There are a number of possible deductions , and other tax advantages that might apply to you.

Best advice I can give you is consult with a tax professional, or at the very least, get a reputable tax software, usually less than $50. If this is your fist time, it might be a good idea to do both to help get a good understanding of the options available to you.
