how do people own homes in countries where the mortgage doesn’t exist?
In: Economics
They pay in cash.
Often, and I know the issues in Argentina best, they buy land for a house and then use their cash to build a small house. Then in a few years they expand it, for a few years. Finally they sell it and use the big wad of cash to buy their next house.
It makes a lot more people renters.
