What was the control?

A fixed rate for the entire mortgage, like 20+ years?

15 years is nothing and it's probably the plane of theseus at that point

A question of liquidity over decades with the liability of a big repair, and all for the hope of building equity and not paying rent in 20+ years

I'm paying more in rent than many of my friends with mortgages yet somehow their payments are shooting up with the rate changes, things are constantly needing repair and they're stressed beyond belief

The rhetoric is definitely the same I agree but my point, once again, that not enough youth are buying into the fascist ideology. The old men may march (while they can) but not much else

The first few years are overwhelmingly paid towards interest and not the principal, it's not an equal ratio throughout the mortgage. I think you missed some fine print

If you get into a mortgage then sell in 2 years you would have paid off less than 2 years worth of payments to the principal and you're not getting that money back, that's straight to the bank

First few years are spent in interest so it's also going straight to the bank

Equity is uncertain in this market, especially with unexpected maintenance

Rent comfortably for a few years is still the better choice, buying a house now that might fall in price is a terrible risk
