My Thoughts and Experience with Mortgage Loans

I live in San Francisco, California. The houses here are very expensive. Actually the land is expensive. If you have $400,000 in hand, there is no house available for that amount because the cost of owning a house here is ridiculous. Even when you own the house, property tax still needs to be paid, which is about 2% of what you paid for a house.

For example if you buy a house that is $400,000, each year the property tax that needs to be paid is $8,000, which is 2% of $400,000.

When my dad decided to buy the house we are living in now, we could not afford it so we got a California Mortgages loan. This means asking the bank to lend us money to buy the house. So the bank would be holding your house until you paid off the debt. If for any reason, you cannot pay for it, the bank will take the house back. Good thing we bought a house early, which cost only $150,000. We got the 15 year plan and paid it off in less than that. The longer the plan the higher the interest you will have to pay.

If you are interested in owning a house here, a mortgage loan is a definite because if you are not rich you will not be able to buy the house with your current money in the bank.
