Here are the 15, 30, and 50 year amortization tables for a $500k 6.5% loan. If you take the 50 year loan at age 30, by the time you turn 50, you will still owe $447,235 after paying 632,749 in usury. This is literal indentured servitude. Oh, & they own the house until you're done

No. You own the house. It is simply collateral for your loan. You can pay the mortgage off early.

That means the bank owns it

If you miss too many payments, the bank kicks you out because you don't own it.

Stop paying property tax. You'll find out soon enough who actually owns the house.

So people canโ€™t afford a 2300 monthly payment but they can afford a 2000 a month payment and pay it off early with the 300 a month savings they spent on groceries because they couldnโ€™t afford the 2300 payment? Make it make sense

Lol, "own the house". No, the bank owns it, you have a promisarry note to pay it back. You own nothing until the loan is paid off.

You don't own the house when you have a mortgage. The bank keeps the deed until you actually buy it off them. For this reason, I paid cash for my house. I hold the deed.

Don't take out loans. Just buy houses immediatly.

A distinction without a difference.

So weโ€™re back to a 30yr loan, huh?

Loan paid off or not, property tax assures the state you don't fully own your home. You pay them for the right to live there - with or without a mortgage. Complete scam and everyone needs to stop paying it.
