Mortgaged to the Hilt!

No, I'm not, but for a young couple starting out there doesn't seem to be any other way to own a home.

I do believe your home and property are the absolute best investments you will ever make and will eventually build your net worth. Renting a home equals paying your landlords mortgage - now that doesn't make much sense. Why put money in his pocket - start filling your own!

Buying a home and taking out a mortgage of your own will show you positive returns, small though they may be in the beginning. Part of your mortgage payment reduces the amount owed to the financial institution but a large part goes toward interest. As years go by and the home appreciates in value, your equity equates to an increase in your overall net worth.

Pay your mortgage weekly to save interest charges and reduce the amount owed much quicker than paying monthly. Check and compare mortgage lenders rates and terms. Educate yourself before making this huge financial comittment.

Let me know in 20 years how it worked out, okay? I think you'll be glad you took the plunge and bought your own home!

The return is small in the beginning, but it is still better than just throwing away your money on a rental.

Really more people should get mortgages and stop paying rent so someone else can own the property.

You bring up a great point...while your equity buildup in the beginning will be small, in the long run it will pay off handsomely.

Today's real estate appraisals can be very expensive, however you need to know how much your home and property is worth. Having a real estate appraisal is a good idea when you're about ready to sell your property or after you have had work done on your property such as a renovation or remodeling because this increase the value of your house and property by a significant amount if the renovations or remodeling were extensive.
