Doesn't matter, 15 year mortgage or 50, you're still just renting it from the government, even *after* you pay it off.

Anyone bitching about 50 year mortgages who isn't also calling for abolishing property tax is just a hypocrit.

Yes, yes and yes.

The 50 year mortgage is designed to keep the monthly payment low enough for younger people to afford a home. Since practically no one lives in a home for 50 years and there is no penalty for paying off a mortgage early this will help from an affordability perspective.

But spat is right. Even after you technically "own" your home failure to pay property taxes means you lose your home.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna

@RepLuna


These senators slipped in a provision to reopen the government that guarantees them $500k if DOJ settles their Arctic Frost lawsuit. And we’re supposed to be okay with that? What about J6? This is outrageous. Really disappointed to see some of the names on this list. You can’t self-deal like this—especially not by weaponizing a government shutdown. Absolutely ridiculous,

Those taxes were one of the reasons we left NYS. I showed my wife that even after we paid off our mortgage we would still need to se aside half our normal "mortgage payment" every month just to cover taxes and insurance.

Property Tax is where the big money is at; Politicians use it to buy votes from those that pay little to none, and to make their wealthy friends even richer with "Projects" they sold to Commissioners...Anyways, you're right; even if your Property is paid for in full, it's still subservient to the Government that WILL seize it at the Barrel of a Gun if you fail to pay the Rent they levy...In a Republican State you might be able to repeal Property Taxes, but there's zero chance with Democrats as that's then money they use to maintain Power and Control.
