My grandmother bought the home we lived in the 90s for 90k at a 8% interest rate. I found out she refinanced the house several times from what seems like predatory practices and malicious advice and now owes 250k at 6%. Basically the house I thought was paid off now has 30 mortgage and she is 90. Her grandkids are in the will to inherent the house but do we inherent this mortgage?
If the house is not paid off, the bank owns it and allows you to live there.
This is something people seem to understand. Peaople seem to think the american dream is buying a home but it is actually about eventually paying it off and actually owning it.
