You don’t own your home if you are forced to pay property taxes, you’re renting for 30+ years & you call it ownership but a house is a liability not an asset:

• Mortgage Interest 7% x 30

• Property taxes 2% x 30

• Maintenance 1% x 30

• Insurance ?% x 30

The bank, govt & insurance companies are likely to make more money on you buying a house than you are! Don’t hate the messenger. GC
