Why do people buy houses they don’t plan to pay off? Most people don’t spend their entire lives paying off one house, so what is the financial benefit of getting a “starter home”? I’m new to the economics of real estate and I’ll take any wisdom offered.
Buy house.
House increase in value.
Sell house for more money.
Bank gets what you borrowed and you get the rest (i.e. More money than you had).
Repeat.
