Mortgage is only $1400 with 4% rate, inflation is 3%Fast forward to 2023, same house is $1 mil ; principal paid is about $150-$80k, remaning mortgage is $120-$140k with 40-55% LTV.When I paid $1400 in 2023, it is not inflation adjusted, if it's inflation adjusted, I shall pay $2,000 instead.In US of A , with current mortgage process, the advantage is with the borrower, the disadvantage is with lender (precisely reason why BAC/SVB is falling because they are the holder of our notes).Now the following is still true in US of A:1. home price is still rising albeit slowing down2. fixed mortgage rate is still available and sometimes we could get the rate BELOW inflation rate3. actual Fed real rate compare to inflation is still zero.Now when people do leverage in mortgage, after 8-10 years, you could pay off one of the property, with the equity from other house.With cash you can't do that.
