Why rent when you could own? There are a ton of benefits to owning a home that you just can’t get with renting. While there are responsibilities with home ownership, it is also a great way to enjoy living in a beautiful home, all while building equity, enjoying fixed payments, and even benefiting your tax return!
A Brand-New Home
There’s nothing like being the first person to live in a brand-new home. There aren’t many renters who get to live in a brand-new place, but when you purchase a Lennar home, you get that amazing new-home feel—plus peace of mind thanks to the warranties that come with a newly-built home.
An Equity Builder
You can’t build equity when you rent, but you may when you own a home. With every payment, a portion goes to reducing your loan. It’s like a form of savings—your payments increase your equity, which you can tap into later. Also, as a home’s value increases, it creates even more equity. If you stay in your home for a long time, an increase in value may give you a good return on your investment.
A Tax Deduction
If you live in Tampa Bay, your rent payment is not tax-deductible. But if you own a home, the interest you pay toward your mortgage may be deductible, which could help your return. For many, this deduction is large since the interest payments can be the biggest part of your mortgage payment during the first years of owning your home. Property tax and closing costs are also possible tax deductions. Consult your tax advisor to see what kinds of tax benefits owning a home could bring.
A Fixed Payment
When you rent, your lease sets the price. Each time you renew your lease with your landlord or rental office, your rent likely increases. But with a fixed rate mortgage, the principal and interest payments never go up. You’ll pay the same each month, paying off more of the principal as you go.
A Home That’s All Yours
When you’re renting, it can feel like your place isn’t really yours. When you own, you have so much freedom to build the life—and the home—you want. From painting the walls to planting a garden in your backyard, your home is yours to design how you want.
Owning a home may be a great financial decision for you. While there are responsibilities to ownership, there are a lot of things you can benefit from as well. Be sure to Like Lennar on Facebook for more great information on home ownership and the home buying process.
Quarantine life is tough enough. The limitations of staying home have impacted every aspect of our daily lives. What’s more, as we pass milestones, they serve as stark reminders of everything we’re missing. With students primed to graduate, many of us are wondering how to mark the occasion. So, how do you go about celebrating graduation in quarantine?
Check out our top recommendations for making this graduation in quarantine a memorable event, here:
Decorate, Decorate, Decorate!
First things first, when celebrating graduation in quarantine – decorate your home. Channel your inner Bobby Berk and create a space that’s Instagram-worthy. If you’re a masterful crafter, you may want to make your own decorations. Of course, that route is not for everyone. Fortunately, you can find plenty of affordable “2020 grad!” decorations on Amazon that fit the bill.
Balloons are an absolute must. You can get a balloon and helium tank bundle online too, which ticks every box. Ahead of the celebrations, spend some time blowing up the balloons and anchoring them around your home and garden. Not only will these look incredible when you have your low-key celebration, but they’ll last for a week or two, serving as a reminder of the recent festivities.
If you’re a dedicated theme-enthusiast, this is your chance to take things up a notch. A quarantine-themed celebration is a once in a lifetime opportunity (God willing!) There are a variety of fitting decorations for this type of party available. For instance, you may want to get some caution tape or a ‘class of quarantine’ banner to mark this unusual end of a chapter.
Create a Video Tribute Compilation
It’s difficult to think that this momentous occasion will happen without the company of our nearest and dearest. Of course, you can plan an epic family soiree post-isolation, but until then, modern technology can bridge the physical gap.
Gather the extended family – aunts, uncles, second cousins, and so on— who want to share their warm wishes and congratulate the new graduate, in a digital space.
A video compilation of your nearest and dearest congratulating the graduate is something they’ll treasure forever. Request your tech-savvy family members to send over a 10-15 second clip of themselves wishing the graduate well and expressing their love. Then use a tool, such as the Clideo Video Compilation Maker, to splice the clips together in a longer video. You don’t need to be an expert videographer to put together a simple compilation video for the big event.
During the graduation celebrations, gather your household around the TV, or a portable projector, and hit ‘play.’ Keep the compilation a surprise in the lead-up to the event. The moment the graduate (and the rest of your household!) see familiar faces pop up on-screen, they’re sure to be overwhelmed with emotion. Watch their smiles spread from ear-to-ear.
Celebrate Al-Fresco
Celebrating graduation in quarantine doesn’t necessarily mean you have to stay inside. If the weather is nice, take this fiesta to your home’s outdoor space. For extra points, you can decorate your yard, set up a Bluetooth speaker, some string lights, and have a ball.
A buffet table featuring some of the graduate’s favorite food is sure to be a hit. Add a delicious graduation cake as the centerpiece, and your graduate will be sure to give you an A+. Pro tip: You can get unique graduation toppers from Etsy! If you’re struggling for food ideas, check out some buffet recipes online.
You may also want to host a BBQ instead! You don’t have to be the ultimate grill-master to get this right. Set up a dining table, get out the grill, and start making some tasty BBQ treats. From spicy chicken thighs to braised baby back ribs, there will be something to tickle every taste bud. Delicious!
Say Cheese!
Let’s be honest; it’s not a graduation celebration without pictures! Traditionally, graduates don their caps and gowns for photos outside their school. Since we all need to #StayHome this year, that scenario isn’t in the cards. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t take a whole host of remarkable pictures at home.
Why not create your own whimsical photo booth for the occasion? Don’t panic – you don’t need to construct an entire booth. Instead, you can make an eye-catching backdrop in your home. Get creative with balloons, banners, and props. YouTube has plenty of tutorials sure to inspire, like this DIY flower wall video!
When you’ve perfected the backdrop, it’s time to think about props and accessories. Be sure to get a variety of options that fit the occasion. You might want to kick things off with a selfie sign and invest in some additional props, including a graduation 2020 frame, novelty glasses, and themed accessories. All of the above will help you take ultra-memorable pictures, even at home. Say ‘cheese’!
Recently, small businesses have seen a decline in traffic in response to staying home as a means of staying safe in the current climate. As we transition back towards stores and restaurants opening their doors, there are a number of simple ways you can help local businesses get back on their feet. Thanks to quick thinking, many of these small businesses are now even offering alternate methods of service that are a great way to get folks back in the metaphorical door.
Why Support Local?
You may be thinking, why bother supporting small businesses? It’s still possible to swing through a chain burger joint’s drive-thru and grab dinner for the family. While this is true, small businesses are essential to the health of local economies. The small businesses in Tampa Bay bring tons of growth and innovation to the communities that they’re a part of. Small businesses are owned by people in the community, and as a result, learn to really care about each one of their customers. They’ll learn the names of regulars, volunteer to be a part of community events, and give back in more ways than one time and time again.
Consider Curbside
Restaurants have been offering curbside pickup since long before staying at home was a recommendation. It’s an easy way to skip the crowds going out to eat brings and enjoy delicious food in the comfort of your own home. Now, small businesses in all sorts of different fields are offering curbside or contactless purchasing options. Bookstores offer mini-libraries in mailbox-style pickup boxes outside of their storefronts, and florists will leave a vase just outside their door for you.
Plug in to Your Community
If you or your kids were taking music lessons or seeing a tutor, chances are those programs have been transitioned to digital. Instead of quitting the class until in-person lessons return, consider staying active with your course online! If you’re new to taking lessons, now is a great time to get started. You’ll help keep a small business afloat, be encouraged to practice regularly, and best of all, come out with a new skill at the end of this!
Your Support is Key
Outside of being online, check in with businesses you’re a regular at. If they’re open, let people know by sharing their pages on your social channels! Word of mouth has always been the strongest method of referral, but now it’s become more powerful than ever. If nothing else, the business owner will appreciate you showing your support and saying hello!
By making a point to show support to small businesses, you’re not just reinvigorating your local economy, you’re lending a helping hand to your neighbors. As an added benefit, after this all blows over, you’ll have a new favorite spot to hang out at in Tampa Bay. For more ways to learn how to help, be sure to Like Lennar on Facebook.
Here’s a counterintuitive notion: Calamities don’t have to wreak havoc on celebrations. In fact, unprecedented times can create opportunities to make birthdays, anniversaries, the arrival of a new family member (babies!), graduations and other milestones unforgettable.
Lennar builds homes and communities designed for celebration. With new homes for sale in Dallas, TX, and throughout the Metroplex, Lennar honors that legacy every day—and now more than ever, celebrating our loved ones continues to be of major importance.
Every year, of course, brings another individual milestone, a time to mark the achievements of those we love (and our own, too). For Lennar, those occasions include Grand Openings, model-home Open Houses, community tours, major sales events and more.
Likewise, from the Lennar communities of Phillips Creek Ranch and Estates at Rockhill with new homes for sale in Frisco, TX, to the communities of Heartland: Jewel and Heartland: Springwood with new homes for sale in Heartland, TX, families will always fuss over one of their own. Here, then, are some ideas to help make special occasions even more special during the most trying times:
People, people, people: What’s a party without people? Graduation is about pomp and circumstance, birthdays about cake and blowing out candles, retirement parties about starting a new chapter, and wedding showers about feting the bride.
These digital days have turned Zoom sessions into a verb, but now is the time to think outside the screen. Invite your community’s musically inclined teens to serenade your loved one from the sidewalk or lawn. Form a community caravan with honking well-wishers. Ask family, friends and neighbors to decorate the honoree’s yard with balloons and bunting, posters and pennants.
Mail it in: Ask friends and relatives to make personalized cupcakes or other favorite treats for a birthday or gender-reveal party and simply mail them to your new Lennar home.
More food: Festivities and food go together like Texas BBQ and, well, everything. No place else dishes up good times like DFW. After all, Bon Appétit named Dallas “Restaurant City of the Year” in 2019, and, dollars to donuts, your honoree’s favorite meal can be picked up right around the corner from any Lennar community or delivered to your home.
Another idea would be to let the honoree make her own party, complete with designing a make-your-own tacos or pizza bar in your Everything’s Included® kitchen—and encourage classmates and faraway friends and relatives to participate remotely.
If you’re not familiar with “meal trains,” now’s the time to get on board. E-vite folks to contribute the honoree’s favorite foods, left on your front porch in a cooler or basket. (You can also make meal trains to honor essential workers or simply help out others.)
Make plans: Celebrations—holidays, for instance—require plenty of strategizing. A month or two before the birthday, anniversary or graduation party, solicit the honoree’s favorite people to compile a personalized scrapbook or photo album, perhaps with Shutterfly.
To learn more about celebrating your loved ones’—and your own—milestones and achievements in a new Lennar home, call the Dallas-Fort Worth Internet New Home team at (866) 314-4477. As one of the nation’s largest and most innovative homebuilders, Lennar is always open to creating memorable occasions.

Spa Day
With a little creativity, you can create the ultimate in-home spa day for your mom (and you, too) in your luxurious Owner’s Suite bathroom getaway.

We guarantee your mom will love feeling pampered and her worries will float away.
At-Home Scavenger Hunt

If you can’t be together, coordinate with dueling menus that you can enjoy “together”. You can even go in on a group sibling gift with a backyard cornhole set!

Is the first step to buying a new home looking for one?
Answer this: when you shop for a car, do you start by looking at several hundred vehicles? Probably not. You likely do your research, find statistics and reviews, determine what you can afford, and then you go test drive. A home is a much bigger investment than a car, so more research and financial planning should be considered prior to walking floorplans, touring models and available homes. This article goes on to discuss those initial steps a new home buyer should take before searching the home market.
So, where do I start?
The best way to start is to determine your affordability in the home market. Answer for yourself: how much home can I actually afford? You can use Lennar’s home affordability calculator to get a quick estimate of your purchasing power, even narrow down your search to a specific Lennar community. For a more in-depth impression though, you should see a loan officer for pre-qualification. You can get pre-qualified in as little as 15 minutes with the digital mortgage tool from Eagle Home Mortgage, Lennar’s trusted lending partner.
What is pre-qualification? This is the initial step in the mortgage process. You supply a lender with an overview of your finances, including your income, assets, and debts. In return, the lender provides you with an estimate of how much money you may be able to borrow. It is not until you are issued a pre-approval letter that you know how great a loan you actually qualify for to borrow. More on pre-approval later though.
While you are with the lender, use the opportunity to go over questions, understand how the components of your financial history influence your borrowing power, and maybe even find out which components can stand improvement and how to improve them. Keep in mind though: a lender pre-qualifies you based on the information you provide them. If you leave out anything pertinent, the qualifying estimate may be inaccurate. Ask your lender prior to your appointment what details are necessary and what type of documentation is acceptable.
A loan, as well as any interest that gets tacked on, are influenced by several factors. These include your debt, credit score, and down payment. Let’s start with debt. The lender should look at your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, which is a measure of your debt, including future mortgage payments (and other home costs), to your gross monthly income. This figure is expressed as a percentage. A ratio of 36% or less is often preferred by lenders. No more than 28% of that should be your mortgage dues. Some loan options will accept a higher DTI ratio; but you might avoid higher interest rates if you knock out as much debt as you feasibly can before filing a loan application.
Next, the lender may review your credit score. Your credit score is a three-digit number between 300 and 850 that assesses your creditworthiness. If it is too low, a lender may think you are at a higher risk of defaulting on the loan. To default means you fail to make your monthly mortgage payment and fall behind. There are loan options for credit scores as low as 500, but there are often terms to offset the risk. Click here to learn more about credit scores and loan options. You are entitled (upon request) to a free copy of your credit report once a year at AnnualCreditReport.com. If you have your credit report, you and the lender can identify the negative components of your credit history that make your credit score so low; then, you have the option to address those issues and raise your score before taking out a loan.
Finally, the lender might ask how much of a down payment you plan to make on a new home. The rule of 20% or more is actually a myth, and you can click here to learn the loan options for a smaller deposit. It cannot be argued that more money down means the less money you have to borrow. Everyone can appreciate that. A smaller loan can also come with lower interest rates, and you may not have to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI). Should you decide to fix your debt and credit score, perhaps you can use that time to save for a bigger down payment as well.
So, I get pre-qualified. What then?
If you are in a good place to take out a loan, then your next step is to get pre-approved. Pre-approval is a more in-depth review of your credit history and credit worthiness, completed by an underwriter, and gives you a more concrete idea of how much money you can borrow and how much home you can afford. When you are pre-approved, you will receive a letter of pre-approval which you can then present to a seller when you make an offer on a home. This letter shows you are a serious buyer with the funds to complete a home purchase.
What comes after pre-approval?
Arguably, your next step could be looking for a home; however, we will inject a sub-step here: Make a life plan. Make sure the events of your life line up with where you want to live. Ask yourself these questions: Do you plan to marry? If you are married, will you have kids? Are you satisfied with work, or would you take a new job and relocate? Could you move for other reasons, such as being closer to family? Do you want to live in the heart of the city, in the suburbs, or somewhere close to the countryside? Once you know these answers, you can decide where you want to live and how big a home you want to own.
I have a plan. So now…?
Yes! You can start looking for a new home!
At Lennar, we have Internet Sales Consultants (ISC) and New Home Sales Consultants (NHC) who can answer your questions, walk you through the steps of a Lennar new home journey, and send you available listings, prices, and other information. Our NHCs operate out of our Lennar new home communities and office at our Welcome Home Centers (WHC). They can lead you on a tour of our models and available homes, show you the community and its amenities, and go over the Everything’s Included® features of your new home.
A few more search tips: when you visit a Lennar community, ask current residents what they like most about living there. Get to know them and a sense of the community itself. What amenities do you like? Is it nearby a desirable school district? What about food and dining options, recreation, shopping, transit, and other necessary services – are those close by? Finding a new home is not just about the home itself; it is also about where the home is and if you will be happy there.
Finally, leave yourself open to options. If one home becomes unavailable, maybe there is a second home you love that is still for sale. Some Lennar floorplans may be available in more than one community, and our Consultants will gladly help you find them or discover other plans that meet your new home needs and wants.
In conclusion…
Looking for a new home can be fun, and certainly buying a new home is exciting. At Lennar, we want you to feel confident and satisfied with your new home purchase. When you are ready to discover your buying power and get approved for a loan, reach out to a professional loan officer from Eagle Home Mortgage. Eagle can provide the most appropriate loan options to suit your new home needs.
Our ISCs and NHCs are always ready to help you find your new dream home. Search the Lennar website, browsing our market and community pages, till you find a floorplan or available home (also called a quick move-in home) you like. Our ISCs, or the NHCs operating out of that community, will gladly schedule your visit at a day and time that work best for you. Happy home hunting!

Moms play such an important role in our lives. They are our mentors, teachers, friends, chefs and so much more. Although this Mother’s Day might look and feel a little different, there are still plenty of ways you can celebrate your everyday hero right from the comfort of your home. We’ve put together some fun activities you can do with (and for) your mom to make this special day one for the books. And remember, it doesn’t have to be Mother’s Day to show your appreciation!
Breakfast in bed
Moms should start feeling the love as soon as they wake up. Let her sleep in then surprise her with a scrumptious breakfast in bed that will have her feeling like she’s staying at a five-star hotel. Plus, you can get the kids involved! Have them spell out mom with bacon strips, sausages and an egg – they’ll feel part of the process and will love letting mom know how much they adore her.
At-home spa day
After a decadent breakfast, treat mom to an at-home spa day! Set the scene with relaxing music and a basket filled with scented bath bombs, scrubs, face masks, lotions and candles. We guarantee your mom will love feeling pampered and her worries will float away.
Learn her favorite recipes
We all have that one meal from the moms in our lives that we absolutely love. Show mom how much you appreciate her by learning this recipe. Pull out the aprons, pots and pans and spend some quality time with mom! While you’re cooking, play her favorite music, share some stories like where the recipe came from and create special moments she’ll remember forever. And if you perfect the recipe, she might end up having you make it for her in the future!
Virtual brunch
Who says loved ones not in your home can’t join in the fun? Coordinate a virtual brunch with mom’s closest friends and family. Whip up some delectable dishes, dress the part (meaning get out of those pajamas!) and enjoy a leisurely brunch chatting and going through some of your favorite memories with mom.
Have some fun under the sun
If mom has been homeschooling the kids and working from home, she might need a breath of fresh air. Take Mother’s Day outdoors and enjoy the meals you’ve prepared for her outside or have a cookout in her honor. With spring in full bloom, you can also take this day as an opportunity to help mom freshen up her beautiful garden – after all she did help you grow.
Between dealing with the current circumstances and trying to keep the home in order, mothers are working harder than ever so let’s give them some extra love this Mother’s Day. Whether you’re witnessing mom’s endless sacrifices firsthand or following the stay-at-home guidelines to keep her safe, don’t let the quarantine discourage you from going all out on Sunday, May 10th. There are many ways to express your gratitude and appreciation while maintaining social distance – it just might require a little out-of-the-box thinking. We’ve got you covered with three fun and creative ways to celebrate mom’s special day safely.
You can’t go wrong with a classic breakfast in bed – simply wake up early, round up the family, and get cooking! At Cascata at MiraLago, a lakefront community of estate homes in Parkland, you’ll find that your beautiful chef-inspired kitchen will make everything go smoothly. Stainless steel appliances, as part of Lennar’s signature Everything’s Included® package, ensure that you’re fully equipped, while spacious countertops mean everyone can join in.With a few fluffy pancakes, scrambled eggs, coffee and a nice bouquet of flowers, mom’s big day will be off to a great start.
If you don’t live with mom, this is also the perfect opportunity for a drive by. Create colorful Mother’s Day signs, blow up some balloons, and drop off your homemade meal in style. You can catch up with mom or grandma while maintaining a comfortable distance and build memories she will cherish forever.
Just because we’re staying indoors doesn’t mean we can’t add a little mystery to our Mother’s Day plans. Try setting up a scavenger hunt throughout the home! On Saturday evening, dad and the kids can hide their gifts and draw a map with fun games and activities along the way. After weeks of the same routine, mom will certainly appreciate the element of surprise and will look forward to an exciting day with the family.
For residents of Palomino Lake, a charming townhome community in Davie, there will be plenty of potential hiding spots for mom to discover, especially since all homes feature open-concept floorplans with private patios and covered entries. Families can also take the scavenger hunt outdoors and enjoy a socially distant walk across any of the 28 scenic acres of Davie’s public horse trails.
Spending time with the moms in your life doesn’t have to take place in-person. Thanks to apps like Zoom or FaceTime, you can have your own celebration online, complete with food, drinks, and entertainment. Plus, if you live at The Edge on 20th, a new townhome community in Fort Lauderdale, you’ll enjoy unsurpassed connectivity from any part of the home with Lennar’s Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Designs. The kids can act out a skit in the patio, recreating favorite films and family memories to make mom or grandma laugh. You can also edit together old home videos, photographs, and clips of family members telling mom how much they love her. No matter how big or small the gesture, it’s truly your heartfelt efforts that count during these difficult times.
With three exciting ideas on hand, you’re ready to create an unforgettable Mother’s Day surprise while keeping everyone safe! If you’re also looking to give mom the gift of a lifetime, consider giving her the home of her dreams with Lennar. Contact one of our New Home Consultants to learn more about our virtual home-buying experience and private self-tours. Making mom’s day extra special is just a phone call away!
