Our there’s this -

"Heter Iska Financing designed to avoid conventional interest (otherwise known as Ribbis in Jewish Law) common in traditional loans.

Heter Iska is, in short, an agreement between the customer and the financier that the transaction being provided is a partnership where all profits must be shared under a stringent set of reporting requirements. If the customer wishes to pay a specified rate in lieu of profit sharing, the customer may do so."

You’re quoting something about how some religions get around their prohibition against usury?

But why?

That’s a whoosh for me.

Not all mortgages are the same.

That’s why.

That's what I thought. That's the math. Houses are not an investment. Selling a home gives you a rebate of debased money if you're lucky.

Right? They literally give you the amortization schedule when you are closing. It shouldn’t be a surprise.

Someone being upset doesn’t surprise me, but I’m disappointed in nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dskjh2zd for trying to drum up outrage over this.
