The reason your home is a liability not an asset is because here is what happens.... example: you rent for $1500 or you can buy for $1500 it’s definitely way better to buy, pay a loan off and have a house worth something vs renting, you never get anything.... but what happens after you get a promotion or make more money you move out and get a house that is $2000 then you go to $2500 or when your house appreciates you refi cash out and spend the money on vacation or a home remodel.... you stretch yourself so thin that you have no extra money and your home is a liability... this is how a vast majority of people do it so that is why their home is a liability.
