My wife bought the house before I moved here and it was a good price. We are diligently paying much more than the payment to pay it off. Meanwhile, since it's Cape Cod and there isn't any new property, it's doubled in value. Perhaps the best investment. What's disconcerting is the amount of properties that are being purchased by big corporations and being flipped into rentals which disenfranchises people from buying a home.
