Is the house you own completely paid off, or are you still paying a mortgage?

We have paid off 3 in the last 46 years. My boys grew up hearing never get a 30 year note over and over!

Rent to own. We’ll be over 70 by the time it’s paid off.

No one really ever owns their home. If the government can take your property for nonpayment of taxes, you don’t own it. If government can take your property under eminent domain laws and hand it over to a developer, you don’t own your home.

The idea of even getting a mortgage is not something I could see myself in the position to do in the next 5 years.

I wish we could overlay this with how much these houses are that were paid off.

My parents house I grew up in was $160,000 whereas today that same house is close to $400,000.

I was lucky and got mine before the market blew up at $350k. Now it is worth $550k which is an insane change in just a few years.

Do you know anyone that can pay cash for a house? The 68 year old houses in my former neighborhood are selling for more than $2 million.

If something is a priority you do whatever you can to make it happen.

The Real Estate sector needs a LOT more government regulation. Especially on taxes and property prices.
