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
So people canโt 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 couldnโt afford the 2300 payment? Make it make sense
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.
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.
