Brookline Homes and H&R Block are teaming up for a special event to show how you can use your tax benefits to bring down the cost of homeownership. That’s right: the tax code can actually help you buy a home. Most homeowners qualify for some form of tax break.


Join us for this insightful presentation, and enjoy delicious, crunchy tacos and refreshments. What could be better? This event is open to all homeowners, whether you already own a home or you’re gearing up to buy your first.


Taxes & Tacos

Date: March 15, 2026

Time: 2-4 p.m.

Location: 211 Vanguard Lane, Cramerton, NC 28032 
To RSVP, please email: s.bewley@mybrooklinehome.com


When you’re looking to buy a home, your to-do list is super long, and taxes are usually an afterthought. Let’s face it: not all of us are accountants. The good news is you don’t have to be to enjoy available or potential tax breaks.


We’re going to learn from a tax expert. This presentation will be led by Master Tax Advisor Denver Cain with H.R. Block. Denver is a retired lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy, and he served for 20 years as an IRS volunteer income tax assistance tax preparer while on active duty. He joined H&R Block in 2017 and is an enrolled agent with the IRS.


Denver will walk through the lifecycle of homeownership from a tax perspective with a focus on single-family home purchases, rather than rental properties. Below are some subjects he’ll cover:

  • How the IRS sees your home as an asset
  • Deductions you could qualify for (there are a lot!)
  • Tax credits for first-time buyers
  • Advantages of working from home
  • Home equity loans 


You won’t want to miss this discussion. With this knowledge, you could use tax savings to make your new home more affordable. You can even start on housewarming projects to make it your own! 


Brookline Homes is committed to helping you achieve your dream of new home ownership. If you’ve been wondering about how owning a home can fit within your budget, come learn how to make that happen. Let’s taco about it.
